Mural ng iconic MMFF films, ilalagay sa EDSA

Lumagda ang Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) at iAcademy sa isang memorandum of understanding (MOU) last Thursday para gumawa ng mga mural na magpapakita ng mga iconic na pelikula mula sa Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng 50th anniversary nito ngayong taon.

Sa ilalim ng partnership, magpipinta ang mga estudyante ng iAcademy ng mga mural na nagtatampok ng ilang MMFF film posters mula sa nakalipas na 50 taon, na magbibigay sa mga manonood ng makulay at nostalgic na art display sa kahabaan ng EDSA.

Pinangunahan ni MMDA Acting Chairman Atty. Don Artes ang ginanap na MOU signing, na nagpasalamat sa iAcademy for their support of the agency, na hindi lang pagagandahin ang walls along EDSA through the students’ artwork but also help promote the MMFF 50th edition under the theme Sine-Sigla sa Singkwenta.

“We will make EDSA nostalgic through murals of hand-painted movie posters to celebrate the rich history of MMFF,” said Artes, citing that the agency is contacting hand-painted movie poster artists to collaborate with the iAcademy students.

Isa mga proposed locations for the murals is along EDSA, from Buendia to Ayala, which is approximately 653 meters in length.

Meanwhile, iAcademy chief operating officer Raquel Wong expressed gratitude for the trust of the MMDA, citing that the program “symbolizes our shared commitment and uses creativity to enhance our public spaces. The artworks of our students will showcase not only their skills but the Filipino life, community, and creativity.

“We are excited to show that these artworks will inspire and remind everyone of the power of creative collaboration in shaping our urban environment,” said Wong.
