PH Cinema is not dead — it is changing and evolving

NOTES FROM THE CHAIR

Since the onset of Covid-19, the Philippine film industry has faced incredible drawbacks — from the continued closure of cinemas which affected the production of local films, to the challenges plaguing the safe conduct of production activities and onsite events. This has undeniably put a damper on the spirits of our stakeholders.

Despite this, the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) is nowhere near throwing in the towel yet. We believe that every challenge presents an opportunity to adapt, grow, and even thrive and become better than before.
