About this event
QCinema has become the strongest festival in the country for international programming, bringing Cannes, Berlin and Venice titles to Quezon City months before they reach streaming. The fourteenth edition runs for ten days across partner cinemas, alongside the QCShorts competition that funds five Filipino short films each year. Quezon City holds a UNESCO Creative City of Film designation and this festival is the main reason why.
