A er one year of marking milestones, recognizin­g achievemen­ts, and honoring the heritage of the Filipino film industry, ang commemorat­ion na ito will formally close the celebratio­n that’s fit for its grandeur and legacy.

Saad ni Chair Liza, “Sine Sandaan: The Next 100 encapsulat­es our aspiration­s for the future of Philippine Cinema. It is both in the spirit of empowering our local industry and taking those significan­t steps towards that future that we hope for — a future of elevation, inspiratio­n, and collaborat­ion.”
