Cordillera - A film by an Igorot director Julius Lumigued has made it to
the final of this year's CineMarya for Luzon.
Dad-aan Na (Her Walks)
“CineMarya puts the spotlight on Filipino women“
Another special PPP4 section will premiere the final 12 short films of the
CineMarya Women’s Film Festival, an initiative of the FDCP in partnership
with the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), Quezon City Film Development
Council, and Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
CineMarya challenges Filipino filmmakers to create women-centered short
films that aim to empower women and men alike to propagate gender
sensitization.
