Filipino movie fans will soon have more ways to watch their favorite films. The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) announced that its streaming platform, JuanFlix, will launch a mobile app on Sept. 27, along with what it calls its “biggest drop yet.”
“We meant it when we said we’re just getting started,” the FDCP said in its announcement. The agency added that the app will feature “a curated collection of restored classics and rare finds from our archives, to the freshest and boldest narratives from the next generation of filmmakers that go beyond the country’s borders.”
Though details on how to download the app have yet to be specified, it is expected to be available on both Android and iOS devices through the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
JuanFlix, which first launched as a web-based platform, offers a library of local and international titles carefully curated for film enthusiasts, students and creators. Its collection includes restored gems such as Bulaklak sa City Jail, Himala, and Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon, as well as contemporary favorites like That Thing Called Tadhana.
Users can register for free access, with full subscription plans priced at P49 monthly or P349 annually.
