## Why go

For anyone who follows Philippine cinema and wants to hear a filmmaker talk through their own work; a focused evening out. It is at the Cinematheque in Intramuros, Manila, an easy trip if you are around the old city or Ermita, but factor in the drive if you are coming from Makati, BGC or Quezon City.

## Good to know

The featured director and exact details are confirmed close to each event on FDCP channels, so check before you plan the night. The 80-seat hall has a 2K laser projector and Dolby Atmos. Screening at 4:00 PM followed by a talkback; arrive early as seating is limited.

## About this event

Once a month the FDCP gives an evening at its new Cinematheque Centre Manila in Intramuros to a single acclaimed Filipino filmmaker, pairing a chosen screening with a talkback in which the director explains the work and the thinking behind it. The 80-seat hall has a 2K laser projector and Dolby Atmos, so the films are seen as intended. The April debut featured Antoinette Jadaone with a double bill of her first film and her recent feature Sunshine. This is among the most considered film programs in the city and worth crossing town for if you follow Philippine cinema, though the featured director and exact date are confirmed close to each event on FDCP channels, so check before you plan the night.
