Movie fans can now watch the featured films in this year’s Cinema One Originals. The festival formally opened Sunday (Nov. 13) at Trinoma Cinema 7.
Filmmakers, artists, and movie aficionados came together during the festival’s opening night and showed support for this year’s roster of independent movies.
In his welcome speech, Head of Cinema One and Festival Director Ronald Arguelles thanked the audience for their unwavering support for indie cinema every year.
“It’s all about the synergy between the films and the audiences. This synergy is the lifeblood of Cinema One Originals and the lifeblood of Philippine Cinema. This synergy is why we make films every year,” said Ronald.
Special citations were also given to Ang Babaeng Humayo, starring Charo Santos-Concio and John Lloyd Cruz, and Cinema One Originals 2015 entries Manang Biring and Miss Bulalacao, films that made waves here and abroad.
Acclaimed foreign movie The Wailing opened the festival.
