Sine Sandaan affairs that aim to honor luminaries and unsung heroes are slated to continue this year, leading up to the closing of the yearlong commemoration of One Hundred Years of Philippine Cinema in September.

The international film festival season always gets a great head start, thanks to the successful conduct of the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany, which kicks off every February. Also known as the Berlinale, the first A-List festival of the year comprises the Top 3 of the most important international film festivals together with Cannes in France and Venice in Italy.

A celebration of artistic excellence, hope and Pinoy pride

Tonight, the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) will stage the 5th Film Ambassador’s Night (FAN) online at the FDCP Channel to recognize the filmmakers and films that put Philippines in world cinema spotlight last year.

Show your love for PH Cinema

I am glad to share with you a new monthly observance that puts the spotlight on Philippine Cinema. Through Proclamation No. 1085, President Rodrigo Duterte declared September as Philippine Film Industry Month, ensuring the celebration of Philippine Cinema annually throughout the country.

PH Cinema’s pursuit of the Oscars dream

Especially in the past decade, the Philippines has been in no short supply of internationally acclaimed films, actors, and filmmakers. We have scored wins in the “Big 3” international film festivals, namely Berlin, Venice, and Cannes. We have also received awards from other A-List international film festivals such as Cairo, Locarno, Tallinn, Warsaw, Montreal, Tokyo, and IDFA in the Netherlands.
