french film festival

I am a sucker for foreign films especially during film festivals. Whenever I get the chance to watch one, I grab it at once. I see this as a glimpse in the host country's culture culture and it's fun. =)

The French Embassy in the Philippines and Alliance Française de Manille organized the 12th French Film Festival which will run from 07-17 June at Shangri-la Plaza in Ortigas. This year's festival is paying tribute to Philippine cinema by the projection of Filipino films such as "Putot" by Jeck Cogama which was included in the official selection of the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, as well as "Kaleido" by the director Brillante Mendoza, the Filipino representative in the Directors’ Fortnight of the Cannes Film Festival 2007.
