12th Cinemanila International Film Festival at Robinsons Galleria Movieworld

The country's premier film festival is back for its 12th iteration this year. The 12th Cinemanila International Film Festival will be held at Robinsons Galleria Movieworld from December 1-5, 2010. The film festival aims to put the Philippines back at the helm of the Southeast Asian film industry - sadly a trait that has long since gone from the Filipino's grasp. Let's support a good cause - go and see the 2010 Cinemanila International Film Festival. You can catch the various films up for screening during the 5-day event after the jump.
