39th Metro Manila Film Festival (New Wave Section) | December 18-24, 2013

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) held a press conference recently to support the screening of 39th Metro Manila Film Festivals’ independent, student and animation films comprising the New Wave Section. This will be held in two (2) venues: SM Megamall and Glorietta 4 Cinemas  on December 19-24, 2013.

MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino, currently the MMFF overall chairman, encourages the public to support the 13 entries for the Full Length, Animation and Student Short Films categories. These films will be shown at Glorietta 4 in Makati City and SM Megamall cinemas in Mandaluyong  for only P100.
　　　　 

“We assure you of good entertainment when you watch and see these New Wave films by our young and budding filmmakers who crafted them in different genre such as drama, romantic comedy and action drama,” Tolentino said.

The MMFF’s New Wave section was introduced in 2010 to cater to independent or “indie” producers and aspiring student filmmakers from various colleges and universities in the country.
