The 38th
Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) is a part of the annual film festival in
Metro Manila, Philippines held from December 25, 2012 until January 8, 2013. During the festival, no foreign films are shown in Philippine theaters in order to showcase locally produced films (except in select
3D cinemas and
IMAX theaters).
Entries
In the last week of May 2012, film producers and companies already submitted their scripts in participation with the festival. However, it will still be reviewed by the
Metropolitan Manila Development Authority to sort out entries. Of the fifteen film entries submitted, eight were chosen as the official entries.
Mga Kwento ni Lola Basyang was one of the eight entries chosen, but the producer sent a letter to MMDA to pull out of the film festival. On October 19, 2012 it was replaced by
Nora Aunor 's
Thy Womb .
