'Película' film fest returns to big screen

The 21st edition of Película-Spanish Film Festival will return to face-to-face screenings from October 5 to October 16. After two years of having virtual festival, Película will screen around 20 movies in three venues of Metro-Manila — Shangri-La Plaza, Cine Adarna at UP Diliman and Instituto Cervantes Intramuros branch.

Since its creation in 2002 by Instituto Cervantes de Manila, Película has been an annual attraction in Philippine theaters. After the Covid-19 crisis, which forced cinemas to close worldwide and caused audiences of Película to migrate online, the festival returns to the big screen, on a first-come, first-served free admission basis. Furthermore, the Festival will also host face-to-face online screenings in Malaysia and Australia.
