If you’re looking to get some sense of how the Venice Film Festival feels like but can’t seem to take the time to fly to Venice, then the Italian Embassy with the partnership with Taguig government has brought the film festival to us instead.
The Venice Film Festival in Manila is a 5-day event where Filipinos can enjoy 8 of the movies that was part of the Venice Film Festival last year. The movie list, which is composed of 3 Filipino and 5 Italian films and a mix of movies from varying years will be shown in a specific schedule below:
The 8 scheduled films are as follows:
- Ang Babaeng Humayo (2016 – Filipino)
- Jay (2008 – Filipino)
- L’estate Addosso (Worn Summer – 2016 – Italian)
- Liberami (Free Me – 2012 – Italian)
- Orecchie (Ears – 2016 – Italian)
- Piuma (Feather – 2012 – Italian)
- Processo Alla Citta (Trial to the City – 1952 -Italian)
- Profumo Di Donna (Scent of a Woman – 1974 – Italian)
- Guesti Giorni (These Days – 2016 -Italian)
- Sinapupunan (Filipino 2012)
- Tommaso (2016)
You can view the movies at the Venice Cineplex at McKinley Hill, which is pretty fitting because of the venue feels just like Venice.
