Cine Europa Film Festival 2020 (Free Viewing until November 29 only)

If you have a spare time, try to catch the Cine Europa Film Festival 2020. All films have English subtitles. Viewing online is FREE until November 29, 2020 (Sunday) only. After this time, there will be no access to the full films anymore. 

On its first three weeks, the films were scheduled for viewing each day. But this time, you can now watch ALL films in your own time. You just need to register first. This is completely FREE! 

Check the link of the full schedule, synopses and trailers here:

For the past decades, Cine Europa Film Festival is being screened for FREE at the theater, together with many other foreign film festivals held in Manila and other provinces in the Philippines. For many years, Cine Europa was screened at Shangrila Cineplex, Shangri-La Mall in Mandaluyong City.

Why am I recommending for you to watch these films? Some copies of foreign films (non-English ones) you find online don’t have English subtitles. When films get uploaded online, producers or film organizations report these uploads to be taken down. The worst part, that after being reported, they let viewers suffer by watching the films, either without the English subtitles, or without the audio/sound. 

The following films are my recommended list based on their trailers. I have yet to see these films. 

SET-A: Out of the 8 featured films in the line-up, I recommend the following 6 films:

1.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Before the Frost (Denmark, 2018)

The Conductor (The Netherlands, 2018) - about Music

Bad Poems (Hungary, 2018) - about Writing/Literature
