Description

Meetings with festival partners, fellow producers, and potential co-production collaborators marked the 3rd day of the Philippine delegation’s participation at the 79th Cannes Film Festival in France.

‘Yellowfin’ by E. del Mundo had its world premiere at the Carlton Hotel as the country’s official entry to the festival’s ‘Immersive Competition’ category.

Filipino filmmakers join the opening of Cannes Docs, with Armi Cacanindin representing the Philippines at the Co-Pro Social Club and the ‘Land of Evanescence’ co-produced by Wilfredo Manalang participating in the Docs by the Sea showcase, as the FDCP is recognized as one of Cannes Docs’ official partners.

Later in the afternoon, the delegation joined Hong Kong Cinema Cannes 2026 for business matching sessions with representatives from Hong Kong, Italy, and Brazil, exploring opportunities for future partnerships.

The delegates also attended a meeting with the Asian Film Alliance Network (AFAN), Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), and Asian Contents & Film Market (ACFM) to strengthen ties and discuss upcoming collaborative initiatives. The FDCP also participated in a working session where film funds and distributors exchanged insights and best practices on strengthening international circulation of films, fostering cultural diversity, and championing stories that transcend borders.
The day ended with the celebration of Taiwan Night, where acclaimed filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda graced the evening with his presence.
