The first summer film festival would be place on this day, according to a Metro Manila Film Festival executive.

Typically held in December is the Metro Manila Film Festival.

Across the country, eight (8) official entries are screened in theaters, but it seems like this year will be different.

The first Summer MMFF 2023 will go through, an executive revealed.

The First Summer Metro Manila Film Festival will take place this April, according to overall chairman of the Metro Manila Film Festival Attorney Don Artes.

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.

The Metro Manila Film Festival is one of the most eagerly anticipated annual film festivals in the Philippines.

It takes place every December just in time for the Christmas season and is more generally known as MMFF.

Movies are typically shown in theaters across the country beginning on December 25 and continuing through January of the following year.

There are eight (8) films entered in the aforementioned film festival.

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.

According to Artes, the first Summer MMFF will take place from April 8 (Black Saturday) until April 18.

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.
