NOEL FERRER
Ito na ang huling Ambassador’s Night ng kasalukuyang FDCP at habang magandang balikan ang mga ganitong pagpaparangal, mas may urgency na suriin ang kalagayan ng pelikula sa panahon ngayon.
Saan na nga ba tayo papunta? At ngayong Alert Level 2 pero wala pa ring gaanong kumpiyansa ang mga tao na pumunta sa mga sinehan ulit, paano na yung mga producers, industry workers, at artista na labis ding tinamaan ng hirap ngayong pandemya.
This would make of a more relevant gathering I suppose.
Well, congratulations pa rin sa mga pararangalan!

Ano kaya ang OOTN si Vice Ganda sa 6th Film Ambassador’s Night?
At any rate, ibinalita rin ng FDCP na kalahok ang Pilipinas sa 72nd Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) mula Pebrero 10 hanggang 20 sa Germany.
Palaban ang short film na It’s Raining Frogs Outside (Ampangabagat Nin Talakba Ha Likol) ni Direk Maria Estela Paiso sa Berlinale Shorts Section. Katunggali nito ang 20 iba pang short films mula sa iba't ibang panig ng mundo.
Ang It’s Raining Frogs Outside ay nag-iisang pelikulang Pilipino na napasali sa opisyal na seleksyon ng festival. Makasaysayan ang paglahok ni Paiso dahil siya ang pinaka-unang Filipina na filmmaker na nakasali sa Berlinale Shorts.
Ang mga kumpanyang lalahok sa EFM, ang isa sa tatlong nangungunang film markets sa buong mundo, ay ang 2076 Kolektib, ANIMA, BlackOps Studios, Create Cinema, Daluyong Studios, at VIVA Films.
Pumili ang FDCP ng limang prodyuser bilang opisyal na kalahok sa BCM online Visitors Programme upang maging kinatawan ng bansa. Ang mga ito ay sina Danzen Santos Katanyag ng Digital Dreams Inc., Wilfredo Manalang ng FUSEE Media, Kyle Nieva ng Screen Asia Corporation, Paul Sta. Ana ng Project 8 corner San Joaquin Projects, at John Paul Su ng Eight Horses Productions, Inc.
“The Berlinale, one of the top three most important and much-awaited international film festivals in the world, has been continuously recognizing our Filipino filmmakers by providing various platforms to showcase films, nurture filmmakers, and develop film projects,” sabi FDCP Chairperson at CEO Liza Diño.
“I trust that our filmmakers will make use of the experience and knowledge they will gain from being a part of this A-list festival and bring back the learnings to the local film industry.”
