One thing I had always looked forward to during the month of February isn't exactly Valentine's Day (I actually dread that day, sorry), but the annual Spring Film Festival. Now on their 12th year, the Spring Film Festival is one of the much-anticipated film festivals happening at the Shang Cineplex. It is participated by many Chinese-Filipino communities. Organized and hosted by the Ateneo de Manila University’s Ricardo Leong Center for Chinese Studies, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China, as well as Ateneo de Manila’s own CHinese student organization, the Ateneo Celadon. The said film festival aims to bring forth the joys and share the rich Chinese culture and traditions as well as a venue to showcase the artistry of the Chinese films.
With an awesome line up of feature films, the annual free film screenings will surely be something not to be missed. The said festival has also extended its reach as it will now be held simultaneously in five other cities such as Baguio City, Cebu City, Davao City, Iloilo City and Cagayan de Oro City.
They will be featuring six full-length films covering different exciting genres such as comedy, romance, suspense and horror, an eclectic mix that will sure to delight audiences from all walks of life. The Spring Chinese Film Festival will be OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, FREE ADMISSION on a first come, first served basis.
