This year’s Paris Cinema International Film Festival will have the Philippines as its “Country of Honour”. The event will be held on July 1-12, 2008.

“After honouring South Korea in 2006 and Lebanon in 2007, the Paris Cinema IFF will pay a very special tribute to the Philippines : its new generation of film directors, and a cinematography filled with energy and audacity. Feature films, shorts, documentaries, videos, experimental works will be presented by many invited directors, producers, and artists.”
