28th French Film Festival Opening Night

Now in its 28th year, the French Film Festival in Manila continues to be the capital’s annual rendezvous for cinephiles seeking bold, diverse, and thought-provoking cinema. This year’s edition celebrates a landmark moment in Franco-Filipino collaboration, following the Co-Production Agreement signed at Cannes last May.

Anchored in the spirit of cultural exchange, the 2025 festival spotlights new French releases, animations, and co-produced films that bridge continents and perspectives. It also builds on last year’s feminist cinema focus, amplifying stories by and about women from both nations.

A highlight of this edition is the Co-Production Conference, which brings together French and Filipino film professionals for dialogue, networking, and B2B meetings—laying the groundwork for future cinematic partnerships across Europe and Asia.
