Rainbow's Sunset | Lost in Grey Tones

12.29.2018 – The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) has been one of the important events in the Philippines when they only screened Filipino made films from December 25th to the first week of January the following year. This has been a tradition since being introduced as an annual event since 1966.

There are no foreign films that get shown during the Holiday Season to focus on showing this type of films. In other countries, there is no such thing as cinemas in Australia are well diverse to show all types of movies. It’s not about having a bigger market it’s getting you to have enough choices to see well-produced quality films.

But of course Filipino produced films that go with that standard of the category is very rare when you think about it for the reason the movie market in the Philippines is very much more on they think would sell than what would be more appreciated by the audience.

For this year there were eight films that are presented for the 44th annual MMF that appear to be less expecting when it comes to standards.

There is a hint of bias on some of these films but the one that really stands out was the one that has less glamour and more about substance as some might think but they’re actually not.
