While Francis Xavier Pasion's Bwaya won the Best Film of the New Breed selection "for its melding of documentary and fictional filmmaking, its effective depiction of a community's efforts to come to grips with the horrible death of a young girl from a crocodile attack, and its powerful evocation of the marshes of Agusan in Mindanao, a vast wilderness where man and beast seek to maintain an ecology of cohabitation."http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/374253/showbiz/nora-aunor-eula-valdez-dante-rivero-and-robert-arevalo-win-in-cinemalaya-2014 Nora Aunor, Eula Valdez, Dante Rivero and Robert Arevalo win in Cinemalaya 2014 2014-08-11
