Hello, kami ang Third World Cinema Club!

It's QCinema SZN again ✨

In this special episode, we take the backseat as we hand over the discussion of the festival’s opening film to six talented emerging film critics who are part of this year’s QCinema Critics’ Lab.

Listen to them talk about Director’s Factory Philippines, an omnibus of four short films from four Filipino filmmakers collaborating with four other filmmakers from partner countries. The factory is an umbrella of the Directors’ Fortnight from Cannes and this showcase is a co-production by Epicmedia (Bradley Liew), and DW-France (Dominique Wellsinki), the project has received support from Quezon City Film Commission and the local government of Dapitan (where most of the short films are shot).
