MANILA — The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) announced on Friday the eight competing entries in its 2021 edition, which also marks the festival’s return to physical cinemas amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The selection of the MMFF executive committee spans genres, from drama, action, comedy, horror, to romance.
A notable inclusion is “Kun Maupay Man It Panahon,” the Yolanda-set drama which has drawn critical acclaim internationally, clinching a special award at the Locarno Film Festival and the best director trophy for Carlo Francisco Manatad at the London East Asia Film Festival.
This year’s MMFF will open Christmas Day and will run until January 8. Owing to eased lockdown measures, it will screen entries in cinemas, unlike the 2020 edition, when it held the entire festival virtually.
