Katilingban (Society). Kalibotan (World). Kabag-ohan (Change).
This year’s Cinema Rehiyon highlights regional films
as tools for social change. From 25 February until 31 March this year, actual screenings will be held in Davao City
and other Local Government Units and some Philippine art collectives; and online.
The best of recent regional films from Luzon, Visayas,
Mindanao and the National Capital Region (NCR) will be available on the
National Committee on Cinema’s Vimeo on Demand platform. Providing opportunity
for amateur and professional regional filmmakers to build networks and exhibit
their films to wider audience, Cinema Rehiyon also aims to screen in
international independent art spaces with Filipino communities and
organizations.
Cinema Rehiyon coincides with National Arts Month every
February by virtue of Proclamation No. 683 signed on 28 January 1991 by then
President Corazon Aquino.
