QCinema Festival unreels

Quezon City, dubbed the City of the Stars, because of the presence of major TV networks and production companies, now seeks to be the haven for independent filmmakers as well with the unreeling of the QCinema Festival from October 3 to 5 at the Trinoma Mall.

“This flagship project of the Quezon City Film Development Commission [QCFDC] is consistent with the local government’s goal to turn the ‘City of Stars’ into a center of arts and culture as well,” Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte told media at a press conference. The vice mayor said it also aims to “give ‘emerging’ filmmakers the chance to create their dream movies.”
