09 September 2015 – A group of young Danish-Filipinos led by Ms. Jacqueline Hansen organized the 2015 P-Noise Philippine Cultural Festival in Copenhagen from August 25 to 30. The event is a platform for up-and-coming Filipino artists to showcase and express their vision and bring the diversity of Philippine culture to Denmark. It is the 2nd time that P-Noise was held in Copenhagen.
The festival sought to show the Philippine modern art movement as it is moving past its roots in the counter-culture revolution of the seventies, transcending borders and cultures to share the human experience through the lens of upheaval, displacement and understanding.
Over the course of five days, P-Noise showcased the movers and shakers in Philippine art, music, film and performance art.
The festival opened with a Filipino Film Festival, with acclaimed director Nick Olanda presenting his new film “Ronda” about a police officer played by renowned Filipino actress Ai-Ai de las Alas looking for her lost boy.
Sinosikat, one of the Philippines’ most beloved soul bands, presented their set at the Danshallerne on August 29 along with other Philippine singers and musicians such as former Dansk Melodi Grand Prix contestant Andy Roda who is also a proud member of the Filipino-Danish Community.
Also, presented were live performances such as an art piece from Russ Ligtas and a Filipino Martial Arts exhibition from Danish FMA.
In addition, works from a number of Philippine visual artists such as Rai Cruz and even posters from well-known artist and Manila guide Carlos Celdran were on display.
The Philippine Embassy in Oslo supported and sent Vice Consul Paolo Alix to this well attended event. It was also supported by the various Filipino community organizations in Denmark.
