Italian film festival pays tribute to PH Cinema icon Eddie Garcia

Eight Filipino films, featuring five titles in an 'Eddie Garcia Retrospective' section, are currently participating in the Italian Far East Film Festival (FEFF) in a hybrid form with both in-person and online showings. Held in Udine in the northern part of the European nation, the festival opened on June 24 and will run until July 2.

FEFF is the largest festival in Europe specializing in Asian Cinema and a contributor to the commercial distribution of Asian films across European and Italian markets. Last year, Xeph Suarez's project, 'Dancing the Tides' and Khavn Dela Cruz's 'Skeleton River' were featured in the FEFF Industry section.

The young Eddie Garcia in the restored version of Ishmael Bernal’s debut film ‘Pagdating sa Dulo’ (1971) will have its world premiere in Italy.
