Hieke,
I wish there would be screenings here, too. Amsterdam is way too far
Hi Iris! I think festivals like these are good initiatives. You get to see movies that are not that mainstream, and screenings in public spaces enhance accesibility. Are there cool filmfestivals in the Philippines?
thanks for sharing it, i’m sure that some fellow bloggers would be interested in it!
Lovely opportunity, thanks for the information- may pass it to some interested friends.
This Youssou N’Dour document was so good! I remember watching it on TV.
