If you missed the eight entries of the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) you can still catch them in select SM Cinemas until January 7.

MMFF spokesperson Noel Ferrer said that festival entries will still be shown in 10 SM cinemas from January 4 to 7 although the festival officially ends Tuesday.

The tentative list includes SM theaters in North Edsa, Megamall, Manila, Sta. Mesa, Fairview, Southmall, Marikina, Bacoor, Iloilo, and Cebu.

Ferrer said that they were still negotiating with other cinemas for a similar extension.

“The MMFF comes to a close tomorrow, January 3. We thank everyone who made this year’s groundbreaking success,” Ferrer said as he called on the public to continue to “make your voices heard so that these films will be enjoyed all over the Philippines beyond January 3.”

In line with this, he said, the people of MMFF 2016 are pursuing the following:

1) The continued screening of all 8 titles in 10 SM cinemas in selected cities from January 4 to 7.

2) Laying the groundwork for an extensive MMFF school caravan.

3) Negotiating with other cinema chains for a similar extension.

“Mabuhay ang pelikulang Pilipino at ituloy natin ang pagsuporta!” Ferrer reiterated.
