Metro Manila Film Festival Until January 14
“We, at the MMFF, are overwhelmed with the continued support of the public for the festival’s 50th edition. Due to public clamor, we have decided to extend the theatrical run of the MMFF movies to further showcase the locally produced films that are truly impressive and artistically excellent,” Artes said in a statement.
Those who were given Metro Manila Film Festival passes can use them until January 14. Artes, a lawyer by profession, hopes that with the extension, more people will be able to watch the films.
Proceeds from the festival will go to several beneficiaries like the the Movie Workers Welfare Foundation (Mowelfund), the Film Academy of the Philippines, the Motion Picture Anti-Film Piracy Council, the Optical Media Board, and the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP).
