The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) celebrated the start of its golden jubilee last July 16, 2024, with a grand launch of its 50th edition under the theme 'Sine-Sigla sa Singkwenta'.

This special event highlighted MMFF's significant contributions to the local film and entertainment industry, as well as its role in bolstering the country's creative economy by generating jobs for Filipinos.

First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos, a staunch supporter of Philippine arts and culture, graced the occasion with her presence. She praised the MMFF as a beacon of Filipino creativity and talent for five decades, highlighting its significant influence on the nation's artistic spirit.

Leading the ceremonies was MMFF and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority

(MMDA) Chair, Atty. Romando Artes. He emphasized the significant support for the film industry, stating, "Nais kong banggitin na simula 2016, ang mga amusement taxes na nai-waive ng mga LGUs para sa MMFF ay 100 porsyento nang inilaan sa ating mga benepisyaryo, tulad ng Movie Workers Welfare Fund (MOWELFUND), Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP), Motion Picture Anti-Film Piracy Council, Optical Media Board (OMB), at Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) - isang pagkilala sa kanilang napakahalagang kontribusyon sa industriya. Ito ay nagpapakita ng ating suporta sa ating massipag na manggagawa sa pelikula, na nagpapahintulot sa kanila na ipagpatuloy ang kanilang gawain sa larangan ng paggawa ng pelikula."

A commemorative video showcased five decades of MMFF's impact on Philippine cinema, culminating in the reveal of the 50th-anniversary logo. This visual tribute underscored the festival's legacy and its contributions to the film industry. Hosts Jake Ejercito and Isabelle Daza kept the audience engaged as they unveiled a series of monthly activities planned to commemorate this milestone anniversary-

August: Launch of a special MMFF classic posters mural in partnership with i-Academy.

September: 'Sine-Singkwenta', featuring 50 selected Filipino movies shown in theaters for only P50.

October: Regional launch of MMFF50, including the MMFF50 Student Film Caravan at Universidad de Manila in partnership with the Film Development Council of the Philippines

(FDCP). This event will feature a two-day masterclass on directing, acting, cinematography, and scriptwriting for 100 senior high school and college students.

Additionally, there will be a celebrity golf tournament and an MMFF50 Masterclass with international Filipino screenwriters, producers, and animators.

December: The annual MMFF50 parade on December 15, the Movie Premiere week from December 15 to December 20, MMFF Sponsors Night on December 21, and the highly anticipated MMFF50 Gabi ng Parangal on December 27. To commemorate this event, MMFF will present a customized trophy for the Gabi ng Parangal, crafted by renowned Filipino artist Jefre.

Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna also expressed her support, highlighting MMFF's role in the city's cultural and economic landscape. She noted that the MMFF has been a vital part of Manila's cultural and economic scene, fostering both artistic talent and community spirit. Mayor Lacuna emphasized that the city is proud to support an event that enriches its cultural heritage and provides jobs and inspiration for its people.

One of the celebration's highlights was the reveal of the first five official movie entries for

MMFF50, generating excitement among attendees and setting the stage for a vibrant festival season.

In September 1975, former President Ferdinand Marcos expanded its scope to include the greater Manila area, renaming it the 'Metropolitan Film Festival. Today, the MMFF is an annual event organized by the MMDA and held nationwide, running from Christmas Day through New Year's Day and into the first weekend of January, focusing exclusively on Filipino-produced films.

Everyone’s in Danger: Humans, Monsters and Neohumans Face Off in Sweet Home Season 3 Trailer

Tweet

“From the very beginning, I was you. I was always a part of you,” the monster within Hyun-su (Song Kang) eerily declares in the tension-filled trailer for Sweet Home Season 3 released today. Fans are left wondering which version of Hyun-su will prevail, and to what end.

In the third and final season of the iconic Korean monsterization saga, humans, monsters and neohumans prepare for the ultimate showdown. The main poster captures the clash between Hyun-su and Sang-wook (Lee Jin-uk) amid a wrecked stadium engulfed in flames. Once allies, their paths diverged in the second season and now lead to a final face-off.

The trailer shows a glimpse of intense action between Hyun-su and Eun-hyeok (Lee Do-hyun) immediately after they are reunited. Yi-kyung (Lee Si-young) opens her eyes again after being consumed by a monster, while Eun-yu (Ko Min-si) and Chan-young (Jinyoung) desperately fight for survival. Meanwhile, Tak In-hwan (Yoo Oh-seong), Dr. Lim (Oh Jung-se), Kim Yeong-hu (Kim Moo-yeol), and Kid (Kim Sia) continue their individual journeys, each facing new battles.

Director Lee Eung-bok comments, “There is a variety of characters, so I hope viewers will root for their favorite ones as they all fight in their own ways, from the battle between Sang-wook — who has turned evil — and Hyun-su, who longs to preserve his humanity; Yi-kyung, who fights to protect Kid; and Sergeant Tak, who feels responsible for the survivors’ safety.”

Don’t miss the thrilling conclusion to the Sweet Home series, premiering July 19, only on Netflix.

Still on a Tony Awards high? These iconic Movie Musical Songs and Dance Numbers will get you going!

Tweet

The 2024 Tony Awards season may have come and gone, but our love for musicals lives on! Let’s revisit some of the iconic songs and dance numbers from unforgettable movie musicals that are also Tony Award-winning Broadway shows. These scenes have left an indelible mark on Filipino theater and Broadway fans for a reason.

If you haven’t seen a lot of musicals, prepare to be dazzled. Or if you have, you’re more than welcome to watch them again on Disney+ and relive the magic that these fantastic movie musicals bring.

HAMILTON (2020) – “Alexander Hamilton”

A killer opening that grabs you right from the first note, pulling you into an epic tale of remarkable characters and dynamic music combined with raw and passionate lyrics. The wildly talented ensemble teases their complex relationships with Alexander Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda) and their historical journeys, brilliantly setting the stage. That iconic line, “How does a bastard, orphan, son of a w***e…” instantly gives the audience all the feels for Hamilton’s struggles and dreams, and when he says, “There’s a million things I haven’t done, but just you wait,” it means that everyone is in for one wild ride.

Hamilton’s Broadway production amassed a record-tying 11 Tony Awards from its record-breaking 16 nominations in 2016. Its wins included Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score (both awarded to Lin-Manuel Miranda), Best Actor in a Musical (Leslie Odom Jr.), Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Daveed Diggs), and Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Renée Elise Goldsberry).

NEWSIES (2017) – “Seize the Day”

This song marks a pivotal moment where the newsboys unite against powerful newspaper magnates to rally for justice. With high energy and impressive choreography featuring jaw-dropping leaps and flips, this visually striking number amps up the excitement as the characters move with courage and solidarity. The audience can't help but cheer as the newsies bravely sing, “Proud and defiant, we'll slay the giant. Let us seize the day!”

Newsies garnered eight nominations at the 2012 Tony Awards, and secured wins for Best Choreography (Christopher Gattelli) and Best Original Score (Alan Menken and Jack Feldman).

THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965) – “Do-Re-Mi”

Get ready to be charmed! In this scene, Maria (Julie Andrews) is not just teaching music – she's unleashing a whole vibe. Her infectious creativity and energy break through the von Trapp family’s ice-cold walls, turning a basic music lesson into a straight-up adventure. Audiences find themselves humming along in no time as Maria sings with glee: “When you read you begin with A, B, C. When you sing you begin with do-re-mi.” It’s catchy and simple, and it brings all ages together in one exceptional musical journey.

The Broadway production of Sound of Music secured five trophies from its nine nominations at the 1960 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Actress in a Musical (Mary Martin), Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Patricia Neway), Best Scenic Design of a Musical (Oliver Smith), and Best Conductor and Musical Director (Frederick Dvonch).

INTO THE WOODS (2014) – “No One is Alone”

Toward the movie’s end, tears almost certainly flow as Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilia Crawford), The Baker (James Cordern), and Jack (Daniel Huttlestone) unite in this song, wrapping up every storyline with heart and soul. It’s like a big group hug after some major drama, giving them the comfort they need to heal and move forward. And Stephen Sondheim’s magic? Pure gold. His heartfelt melody and lyrics hit right in the feels:

“Witches can be right, giants can be good

You decide what's right, you decide what's good

Just remember, just remember someone is on your side (our side)

Someone is on your side

No one is alone”

The original Broadway production of Into the Woods won three Tony Awards in 1988, out of its ten nominations: Best Score (Stephen Sondheim), Best Book of a Musical (James Lapine), and Best Actress in a Musical (Joanna Gleason).

MARY POPPINS (1964) – “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”

Perfectly capturing Mary Poppins’ (Julie Andrews) whimsical spirit, this song shows how she brings joy and excitement to everyday life. And what makes it stand out? The crazy wordplay, of course! Trying to say the title is a challenge in itself, but it’s all part of the fun. It’s even reflected in the lyrics: “It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious. If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!” And with energetic choreography to match, it’s a total spectacle that leaves viewers feeling elated.

The imaginative and detailed set of the Mary Poppins Broadway production was honored at the 2007 Tony Awards. It bagged the Best Scenic Design of a Musical recognition for Bob Crowley, the show’s only win out of its seven nominations.

WEST SIDE STORY (2021) – “America”

Anita, played by the amazing Ariana DeBose (who is also this year’s Tony Awards host), tries to convince Bernardo (David Alvarez) that America has more to offer than the opportunities they have in Puerto Rico. It’s a whirlwind of song, dance, and color, diving deep into the complexities of the “American Dream” and the characters' hopes, frustrations, and aspirations. Not to mention, the lyrics are outstanding – witty, sharp, and with clever wordplay and cultural digs:

“Life can be bright in America

If you can fight in America

Life is all right in America

If you're all white in America”

And don’t forget the vibrant, fast-paced, and totally mesmerizing choreography that gets everyone’s mood upbeat.

The original Broadway production of West Side Story received two Tony Awards in 1958, out of its six nominations. It took home Best Choreography (Jerome Robbins) and Best Scenic Design (Oliver Smith).

Through their memorable melodies, compelling lyrics, and stunning choreography, these iconic songs and dance numbers continue to enchant audiences across generations and cultures, reminding everyone that the power of music and storytelling knows no bounds.

Enjoy these wonderful movie musicals that are all available on Disney+.
