On April 5, MMDA Acting Chairman Don Artes revealed the official calendar for the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). The announcement included the decision to forgo the Summer Festival to focus on events marking the MMFF’s milestone year.
“Sine Sigla sa Singkwenta,” or “Sine-Singkwenta,” is one of the festival’s key highlights this year, in collaboration with the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), Mowelfund, and the Cinema Exhibitors Association of the Philippines (CEAP), which will showcase classic MMFF films in cinemas across the country.
The MMFF Student Short Film Caravan will also return for the film festival’s 50th edition, offering students film-making workshops.
This year, the 50th edition of MMFF will be hosted by the City of Manila, overseeing the planning and execution of the much-anticipated Parade of Stars.
The MMFF 2024 will also showcase 10 films in its main competition, building on last year’s decision to expand the usual eight-film lineup.
As of writing, the first five official entries for MMFF 2024 have been announced. They include Jun Robles Lana’s And The Breadwinner Is, Zig Dulay’s Green Bones, Kerwin Go’s Strange Frequencies: Haunted Hospital, Pepe Diokno’s feature adaptation of Himala: Isang Musical, and Michael Tuveira’s family-drama The Kingdom – with reports from Zulaikha Palma/Rappler.com
