Cine Filipino Film Festival has done a remarkable job in unleashing great films in the past few years. Feature length and shorts have opened up a lot of opportunities and have established careers of new and up and coming directors, actors and producers. Some of them also did good in other festivals, not just nominations, but wins, and the platform works so well after finding home with CFFF.
Their tagline this year is “Buhay and Kwento” of which Buhay can mean life/work/being alive. It can mean either, and this is their partnership with FDCP for the 100th year of Philippine Cinema. They also announced the finalists for this year. This was adjudged by Direk Joey Reyes, Manette Dayrit and JP Laurel. This will all come out on May 2020. Unitel, Cignal and Cignal Entertainment is providing for this event.
Direk Joey says “Our choices are simple, it must be Filipino, it should cater to a Filipino audience, we also need to nurture new Directors.”
Atty. Gido VP of Cignal says “We believe in the Filipino Talent and we continue to make sure that we expand the platforms, so storytellers could tell your views to the public. We are also expanding to mobile, our commitment to support Cine Filipino and you. We have so much growth potential in the industry.”
