Cinema is changing, and is now beyond the four corners of a dark theater.
With the changing times and the uncertainties of the new normal, MOOV aims to create a multi-sectoral online community of movie lovers.
A community that will strive for the positive shaping and development of Philippine Cinema.
Cinema is for all, and everybody deserves great Filipino Cinema.
"We celebrate a century of the Filipino vision, craft, and artistry."
Cine Crítico Filipino is envisioned as a growing community of young film critics who take film writing and criticism seriously. As a collective, we imagine a Filipino cinema with a healthy and vibrant dialogue between its filmmakers and critics, and aspire to develop the great Filipino audience.
