MTRCB Children’s Fest at QCinema

MANILA, Philippines - The Quezon City Government, through the Quezon City Film Development Commission and The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), finds a perfect ground in advancing the rights of children.

 The agencies signed a memorandum of agreement recently for the showing of MTRCB’s Children’s Classics at the upcoming QCinema International Film Festival, slated from Nov. 5 to 11 at Trinoma, which is one of the highlights of the city’s celebration of its jubilee year.

 “These are stories about children, for children, which aim to be inspiration for children,” said Quezon City Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte.  

 Screenings for the children’s classics are free.

There will be seven participating films for exhibition at the festival.  These include two Iranian movies, which are Children of Heaven and Color of Paradise; two Chinese movies, which are Not One Less and Dance Without Music, and three Filipino Films, which are Boses, Bunso and RPG Metanoia.

Aside from the children’s classics, the memorandum of agreement also covers self-regulation of the Quezon City Film Development Commission covering the QCinema International Film Festival.
