Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival


After the blockbuster Korean horror Movie Film Festival here comes another one! It’s the 2010 Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival. This will run starting today, November 10 up until November 16, 2010.

Now, unlike the previous international film festivals in  Shangri-La Mall’s Cineplex, we DON’T get to watch pinoy films for FREE . Tickets are priced at Php150.00 each. Would this mean that it will be a yey-konti-pila-may bayad-kasi  festival moment?

Awards Night will be held on November 14 at ABS-CBN's Dolphy Theater.It will surely be a tight competition between the 7 finalists selected out from over 100 entries.
