The biggest, most popular and the widely supported and anticipated 47th Metro Manila Film Festival is on for a hopeful start as the eight ( 8 ) official entries are named.
MMDA and MMFF Chair Benhur Abalos, Jr. said, “It has been our desire for our theater partners to bounce back to business once again, and we are helping them build the confidence in the movie audiences and encourage them to go back to watching films where they should be enjoyed to the fullest – the cinemas. Thus, this year’s MMFF will be back in the cinemas where they initially and rightfully belong.”
From the nineteen (19) finished film submissions from various production companies, the esteemed members of the Selection Committee headed by the multi-awarded and much respected leader of the film industry, Ms. Boots Anson Roa-Rodrigo, chose the Top 8 based on the following criteria: Artistic Excellence – 40%; Commercial Appeal – 40%; Filipino Cultural Sensibility – 10% and Global Appeal – 10%.
