The 4th Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino (PPP) will push through this October despite the pandemic.
Film Development Council of the Philippines chair Liza Diño made the announcement during a recent interview sharing the much-awaited annual event will help reinvigorate the industry during these trying times.
She said, “Online siya through the FDCP platform. We created an exclusive platform for PPP 2020.”
Diño believes there is a huge need for stability given the uncertainty we are facing. It is as such that she is making sure that the PPP will be staged this year.
“We need this. We need local content. Ayaw nating masanay ang audiences natin sa foreign films or K-drama,” she opined.
“Given the situation, all the more na dapat tayong maging masigasig na makakapagpalabas ng Filipino films, ng sariling atin. Kasi nandiyan ang audiences natin sa kanilang mga bahay and we need to be able to serve them,” Diño maintained.
She vowed the FDCP will always be ready to help the industry in more ways than one.
