Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) has reached its P800-million target gross sales, according to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
MMDA Chair and concurrent MMFF overall Chairman Atty. Don Artes said the #MMFF50 has leveled up the standards of the annual festival in terms of quality of entries, inclusivity, the revival of the Student Short Film Festival with the FDCP, education, promotions, subsidy for block screenings and talk back sessions, even the trophy, the awards, the parade and the general conduct of activities.
“The MMFF would like to thank all the stakeholders and the public for making its 50th edition one for the books.”

“Rest assured that the MMFF will continue all efforts by encouraging our stakeholders, especially the local entertainment industry, to create quality films. The key to our success is in collaborating, helping and supporting each other instead of fuelling divisiveness, coming out with unsubstantiated claims, and sweeping judgments,” he stressed.
“We did our best to give the public the best edition of the MMFF for its Golden Year. There are lessons to be learned, but we acknowledge the great effort and sacrifice given by the ones who were part of this milestone festival. It was a success as it upped the standards from the previous MMFFs, and by saying so, we redefined our indicators beyond box office returns, which is worthy of another study, moving forward,” Artes concluded.
