Cine de Oro Festival Director Orpheus Nery and Festival Manager Rodiell Veloso conduct film workshops for student filmmakers at Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology. Story consultations were then held in preparation for the premiere of their films at next month's Palakasan.

The elephant in the room that de Castro wasn’t able to address is the reality that sits within local film distribution’s pandering to the imperialist (largely U.S. Imperialist) market.

Which is why what is often highlighted in these kinds of discussions are the “quality” of the works being produced and the kind of audiences they tend to attract.
