Curiosità

Lola Igna is a 2019 Philippine dramedy film co-produced and directed by Eduardo Roy Jr. from a screenplay he co-wrote with Margarette Labrador. Starring veteran actress Angie Ferro and Yves Flores, the story follows a centenarian-aged woman whom the townsfolk knew could become the world's oldest grandmother.

Production

Lola Igna was directed by Eduardo Roy Jr. under the production of Found Films and EMBA Productions.

According to Roy, the concept of the film originated from his own reflections on his relationship with his maternal great-grandmother who is a resident of Sagada who died at the age of 80 years in 2012. The film was a tribute to Roy's great grandmother, describing it as story of what if he got to bond more with his great grandmother since he did not have a chance to learn more about her since she lived in the remote Mountain Province.

The film was to feature in Cinemalaya twice; the first in 2012 and the second in 2017. The film had to be pulled-out as one of the official entries of the 2012 edition due to revisions on the script that would satisfy the demands of an international distributor and due to budgetary concerns. Work on the film had to be halted due to director Eduardo Roy's illness consequentially caused its withdrawal from the 2017 edition of Cinemalaya.
