Italian Cinema from Venice to Manila - A selection of movies from the Venice International Film Festival on November 14 - 18






Italian Chamber of Commerce in Philippines (ICCPI), the Philippine Italian Association (PIA), in partnership with the FDCP (Film Development Council of the Philippines) and Embassy of Italy are proud to present the second edition of “ITALIAN CINEMA FROM VENICE TO MANILA, a selection of movies from the Venice International Film Festival” on November 14 - 18, 2018.

Last year, in the framework of the 70th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Italy and the Philippines, a selection of films from the oldest and most important film festival in the world, the Venice International Film Festival, was brought to Manila: a ‘premiere’ in the Philippines as well as in the whole ASEAN region.

Following the success of the first edition, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines and the Philippine Italian Association, together with the Film Development Council of the Philippines under the auspices of the Embassy of Italy in Manila, are proud to present the second edition of “ITALIAN CINEMA FROM VENICE TO MANILA, a selection of movies from the Venice International Film Festival”.

The second edition of this signature Italian film festival is set to grow in size and to expand its audience reach!

Partnership with Central Square, Ayala Malls Cinemas and FBDC, the Italian movies will be screened in 3 different cities of Metro Manila:

  •  Greenbelt 3 and in Quezon City, at U.P. Town Center





The 9 movies that will be screened for Metro Manila film aficionados, this year, participated in the 74th Venice International Film Festival and were chosen for their outstanding qualities:

Within the framework of this event, a Production Tour is being organized with the objective of strengthening the Philippine-Italian film industry ties. With the support of the European-Philippine Business Network, an Italian independent producer will visit six local production houses with the intent of exploring possible co-operations.

ITALIAN CINEMA FROM VENICE TO MANILA will be a unique opportunity for film lovers of all ages to appreciate the best of Italian films selected by the oldest and among the most authoritative film festivals in the world.

We firmly believe in this and, through the language of cinema as well as the language of Italy, we are committed to give our festival goers this wonderful opportunity to see life through Italian eyes.
