The aforementioned
films, along with Coco Martin’s ‘Ang Panday’ and the Jennylyn Mercado-Jericho
Rosales sophomore team-up film ‘Almost Is Not Enough,’ are the first four based
on the screenplays sent.
Four finished films (to
be announced on November 17) will be picked based on the following criteria to
complete the remaining four entries: 40% artistic excellence; 40% commercial
appeal; 10% promotion of Filipino cultural and historical values & 10%
global appeal.
According to MMFF
Execute Committee Chairman Tim Orbos, their "selection committee had a
difficult time choosing given the quality of films” and has undergone “exhaustive
and thorough deliberations."
The Metro Manila Film
Festival 2017 is set to have its run this Christmas day.
