The Philippine Italian Association is delighted to invite you to the 15th edition of the International Silent Film Festival Manila.
 

To mark the 15th birthday of the festival an opening ceremony will be held on Wednesday, 24th of November, at 4:00 PM, at the newly reopened Metropolitan Theater, Manila’s architectural gem that comes straight from the “Silent era”. The invitational opening ceremony, hosted by the Japan Foundation, will be followed, at 5:00 PM, by the screening of 雄呂血 Orochi (Serpent), a 1925 action film by Futagawa Buntarō that will be live scored by Munimuni band. This cine-concert in pre-COVID style can be open to the public according to the health restrictions in force.

With the exception of the opening day, the program of this 15th edition of the International Silent Film Festival Manila that includes screenings and international round tables will be entirely accessible online from the 25th of November to the 3rd of December. Loyal to the very essence of the festival, all silent films will be scored with original music expressly composed and performed by local bands and musicians.
