Five years after its debut in the industry, the CineFilipino Film Festival (CFFF) continues to showcase new filmmakers churning out exceptional features with modest budgets. Organized by Cignal TV and Unitel Productions, Inc., CFFF is rolling out the finalists for this year's search for indie greats. The lineup of features reveal a wide spectrum of genres exceptionally created by a dynamic group of young and imaginative filmmakers.
The eight feature length films are:
1. Delia & Sammy (dir. Theresa Cayaba)
2. Excuse Me Po (dir. Ronald Battalones)
3. Gusto Kita With All My Hypothalamus (dir. Dwein Baltazar)
4. Hitboy (dir. Bor Ocampo)
5. Mata Tapang (dir. Rod Marmol)
6. Mga Mister ni Rosario (dir. Allan Habon)
7. Poon (dir. Ronie Supangan)
9. The Eternity Between Seconds (dir. Alec Figuracion)
Unitel Productions and Straight Shooters President and CEO Madonna Tarrayo, who also stands as CFFF director, expresses excitement over the film entries' variety of genre and theme. "We have five new filmmakers and three who have done feature-length films in other festivals. With this line-up, you can expect a rollercoaster of emotions in every frame," she adds.
It comes as no surprise that in just a few years, the CFFF has become the center of cost-efficient filmmaking in the Philippines. The past years' winners have gained national and global visibility in several platforms.
The partner cinemas for this year's CFFF are the following: Gateway, Greenbelt 1, SM MOA, SM Manila, SM Southmall, SM Megamall, SM North EDSA, and SM Fairview. Tickets are priced at PhP150 each.
