PHL, France spotlight co-productions, animation, feminist films
The 28th French Film Festival in Manila, running until November 30, is highlighting Filipino-French co-productions, animated films, and feminist narratives.
A co-production agreement signed between France and the Philippines in May is expected to enhance opportunities for filmmakers from both countries.
A two-day Co-Production Conference, held from November 27 to 28 at SMX Aura, gathered industry professionals from France and the Philippines.
French Ambassador Marie Fontanel stated that the event enables cooperation between French and Filipino artists, and the co-production agreement will allow them to make and distribute movies together.
The conference, organized by the Embassy of France and Micronesia in partnership with the Film Development Council of the Philippines and France's National Center for Cinema and Animation, generated significant interest among producers for future collaborations.
The festival will also feature the first two episodes of the Filipino adaptation of 'Call My Agent,' shown back-to-back with the original French material.
