Top Trending topic online! The 2020 MMFF will feature 10 full-length films with varying genres. Congratulations to the 10 finalists that will be on the year’s Metro Manila Film Festival! Tuloy ang MMFF para sa lahat ng Pilipino, exclusively on #UPSTREAM this December 25, 2020.
MMFF is now viral on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. According to MMFF chairman Danny Lim announced in a virtual press conference on Tuesday, November 24, 2020, “Ngayong taong ito, hindi kagaya ng mga nakaraang taon. Tayo ay may problema sa pandemya kung saan ang ating mga cinemas ay hindi pwedeng mag-operate at full capacity. Pero hindi ‘yan sapat na dahilan para itigil natin ang MMFF.”
According to MMFF Spokesperson Noel Ferrer: ‘Digital yung platform at hindi sinehan so hindi magkakaroon ng problema sa mga sinehan. We can play as many movies as we can.’ Festival will run from Dec 25 to January 7.
Moviegoers can watch the official entries in the comforts of their own home via Upstream and GMovies.
“Maganda nga ito dahil online ang panonood natin. Hindi lamang limited dito sa Pilipinas kung ‘di pati ang mga kababayan natin sa ibang bansa ay pwede na ring manood,” Lim said.
