1st Mogwai Film Festival
2007-12-28 11:58:00
THE FIRST UNOFFICIAL MFF (MOGWAI FILM FESTIVAL)This ?festival? was inspired by a conversation.In 2006, when attempting to discuss the problems of the Metro Manila Film Festival with one of the Philippine?s most prominent female film directors, I was told ?what do you want from me? A quote?!? that was disheartening.Later in the conversation the former FDCP head said ?why don?t you just start your own festival!??And so it is.From December 28 ? December 30, and continuing from January 2 ? January 13, bar/arts space MOGWAI in the Marikina Shoe Expo will hold something like a film festival.As we all know, the annual Metro Manila Film Festival is problematic: it is under the authority of the same people that handle our garbage (?literally). If it is, as we believe, a form of oppression to have our viewing options from December 25 ? January 7 limited to the films of the MMFF, then consider this, the first ?MFF? our attempt at liberation.The MMFF?s criteria for selection (ever-evolving, thi...
