La octava edición de Pelikula invita a un recorrido por el cine actual en español. Un año más, los aficionados al cine en la capital manileña pueden apreciar el último cine español y latinoamericano en la que es la mayor muestra cinematográfica de cine en español del Sudeste Asiático.

The 8th Spanish Film Festival, the most important and most celebrated Spanish-language Film Festival in Asia, will showcase the best Spanish and Latin-American films in recent years. Once again, Manila film enthusiasts will be treated to an exciting line up of multi-awarded films in the Spanish language. The 8th edition of PELICULA PELIKULA is organized by Instituto Cervantes de Manila. For more information on the Festival, please visit the website www.pelicula.ph or call 526.1482 local 115.

  1. My choices would be for this Saturday (assuming I can go):

    Mediterranean Diet / Dieta mediterranea seems a good choice - combining food and comedy...

    Casual Day - another comedy (ok, see the pattern and how I shy away from dramas)

    and lastly - Don’t ask me to kiss you, because I will / No me pidas que te bese porque te besaré - am interested because of the "shades of Woody Allen" approach

  6. at Php 65 per movie...not that bad nor super expensive...

    of course I prefer the free ones during Eiga Sai (Japanese film festival) but heck one queues up and ends up with no seat sometimes (ok, during the last spanish film festival I attended, I queued also, but at least I was one fo the top 5 hehehe)

  10. yay! I managed to see "Casual Day", but I was so tired during Sunday I didn't watch the People's Choice (one which was voted by moviegoers as their choice) anymore...nor the other films...

    I wanted to write a review of "Casual Day", but after walking a lot back and forth, and finding some choice items that I was looking for in a Japanese grocery..I succumbed to consuming my purchases plus a big box of mexi mojos :-)
