This latest installment of the annual film festival will feature 10 movies, breaking away from the usual eight entries as seen in previous years.
The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) has unveiled its full line-up of movies for its 2020 edition.
The big reveal happened today, November 24, during a virtual press conference hosted by the team behind the annual festival.
It's worth noting that some of the participating films were originally slated to join the canceled MMFF Summer edition.
There are 10 entries for this year, two films more compared to the traditional eight movies in the past years.
The slightly higher number is due to the fact that this year's festival will be online, giving the MMFF team more leeway and freedom from the usual limitations imposed by commercial cinema houses.
