There is no denying that Filipinos adore movies. Because of this, many Filipinos like attending film festivals and taking advantage of their movie offerings.
Many Filipinos enjoy watching suspense and horror films, but many more Pinoys enjoy watching films about friends, family, and love.

A screening committee selects the submissions that will be considered official entrants to the film festival after evaluating the submissions.
According to a report, the 48th MMFF, the most recent film festival, has already surpassed P500 million in gross sales.
A good sign that the joy of the film festival is returning, according to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and overall chairman Attorney Romando “Don” Artes, is the fact that the most recent submissions were only screened in 700 theaters, down from 1,000 theaters statewide.
There are still certain provinces without movie theaters, according to the overall chairman of the film festival.
The first Summer MMFF will take place this April after the Executive Committee met to discuss the success of the most recent film festival.

Producers will be invited to a meeting where they will be urged to submit films for the summer film festival.
The screening committee will have a week to review the submissions after the deadline on February 17, 2023.
