“We, at  MMFF, are overwhelmed with  continued support of  public for festival’s 50th edition…due to public clamor, we have decided to extend  theatrical run of MMFF movies to further showcase  locally produced films  truly impressive and artistically excellent,” 50th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) overall chairman lawyer Don Artes stated MMFF is set to continue for additional week due to “insistent public demand.”

Originally scheduled to end today, Jan. 7,  annual festival will extend  theatrical run of its 10 official entries until Jan. 14 in select cinemas across  Metro Manila area.

The official lineup for  50th edition of the MMFF includes “My Future You,” “Uninvited,” “Topakk,” “Hold Me Close,” “Espantaho,” “And the Breadwinner Is…,” “The Kingdom,” “Green Bones,” “Isang Himala” and “Strange Frequencies: Taiwan Killer Hospital.”

MMFF complimentary passes will also be honored until Jan. 14, making it easier for  public to attend and support  films.

In  statement, Artes expressed hope that  extended festival will boost earnings and continue to promote  growth of local films.

Artes added in the announcement MMDA is hopeful that 2024 MMFF earnings will continue to increase.

In  earlier statement, Artes expressed hope  festival box-office sales for 2024 will at least match that of  2023 MMFF, which went on to become  highest-grossing edition of all time with earnings surpassing P1 billion.
