Independent
film festival Sinag Maynila was born
from the vision of Solar Entertainment
Corporation, CEO Wilson Tieng and renowned festival
director Brillante Mendoza’s wish to
have a festival that not only inspires but educates and enlightens Filipino
movie audiences. Made up of five homegrown filmmakers handpicked and closely
collaborated with by Tieng and Mendoza, the festival produced feature films
that presented social issues currently faced in Filipino culture. After a
successful run last March, the films have gone on to garner attention both in
the country and abroad thanks to their compelling narrative.
