Our Thoughts
Heartwarming movies always have ways of making people feel happy, sad, and sentimental. In the Philippines, they hold a film festival annually during Christmas to instill these emotions in Filipinos. Many Filipinos often love the movies at this festival, even though they are cliche and have the same plot and storylines. There is nothing wrong with liking these types of films, but in the future, we will get to show more diverse movies that are not simply the same tropes and that showcase how talented Filipinos are.
There are a lot more movies to choose from besides what we listed. Many Christmas-themed movies are released before the season begins, and selecting the best would take a lot of work. We believe that as long as everyone enjoys the film, it will form connections and strengthen bonds.
