The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) executive committee (EXECOM) are set to celebrate the 50th edition of the festival in December. Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan expressed her gratitude to the agency and the EXECOM for choosing the city to host this year’s film festival. She said the city government is fully supportive and excited about hosting the 50th edition of MMFF. This year, the selection committee will choose eight official entries under four script entries and four official finished entries. However, the committee may allow the addition of more film entries if there are more quality films submitted. Aside from the official film entries, the MMFF will also hold a Student Short Film Caravan to give students an opportunity to showcase their talents in filmmaking.
