MMFF Executive Committee, may apela sa theater owners

Hindi man pangkaraniwan ang mga pelikulang kalahok sa 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival, umani ito ng positive feedback mula sa mga nakapanood na.

WATCH: MMFF entries, positive ang reviews mula sa film critics at moviegoers 

Dahil sa magandang performance sa takilya, umaapela ang Executive Committee ng MMFF na i-extend ng apat na araw ang pagpapalabas ng mga pelikula para makumpleto ang 14-day run ng mga ito.

Mababasa ang apela na ito sa Instagram account ni MMFF spokesperson Noel Ferrer.

 

MMFF EXECOM STATEMENT, 29 December 2016 Five days into the festival, the Executive Committee of the Metro Manila Film Festival is happy to report that MMFF 2016 is a hit with the Filipino moviegoing audience. Overwhelmingly positive reviews from moviegoers, blasted through social media, have fueled the long queues at the cineplexes and led to full-house screenings punctuated by heartfelt applause from the audience. The Filipino moviegoers have spoken, and their passion for cinema and for good stories told well has made all the difference. We therefore make this appeal to our partners, the theater owners, to celebrate this resounding success with us by allowing the extension of the duration of the festival by four days, so that it completes a 14-day run that will end on January 7, 2017. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng nanood at manonood pa ng walong pelikulang kalahok sa MMFF 2016! Mabuhay ang pelikulang Pilipino! (EXPRESS YOUR SIMILAR APPEAL TO OUR PARTNER-THEATER OWNERS NOW!)
