The 2016 Metro Manila Filmfest (MMFF), which starts December 25, is showcasing eight (8) revolutionary movies this year.
Seven independent films (Die Beautiful, Kabisera, Saving Sally, Seklusyon, Sunday Beauty Queen, Ang Babae sa Septic Tank 2, Oro), and one mainstream movie (Vince & Kath & James) made it to the final list of entries.
Revisionists as these films may all seem to be, the mainstream moviemakers are thinking otherwise - claiming that "there is a time for the indie movie, but not for Christmas season," that "quality is subjective," and that the MMFF failed to "respect the taste of moviegoers."
Well, we think otherwise, too. We thought we're finally free (at last!) from all those gay slapstick comedy, aging fantasyland swordsmen, horror trilogies and Tsinoy wannabes.
