The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) has extended the showing of its movie entries until Jan. 14, following widespread calls from the local audience.
Initially scheduled to conclude on Tuesday, Jan. 7, the festival’s 50th edition was extended to give audiences more time to enjoy the lineup of locally produced films.
“We, at the MMFF, are overwhelmed with the continued support of the public for the festival’s 50th edition,” said Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman and MMFF overall chairman Don Artes in a statement.
“Due to public clamor, we have decided to extend the theatrical run of the MMFF movies to further showcase the locally produced films that are truly impressive and artistically excellent,” he added.
Artes also announced that MMFF complimentary passes will remain valid until Jan. 14.
