菲律宾工厂 Directors' Factory Philippines

Cannes Directors Fortnight project Directors Factory Philippines has wrapped filming in the Shrine City of the Philippines called Dapitan. It is historically known as the place where Filipino national hero Jose Rizal was exiled by the Spanish colonial authorities for his threat to start revolutionary activities. It is a province of Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines. The directors are now completing the postproduction in Manila. The program of four short films will be screened at the Théâtre Croisette in Cannes on Wednesday May 15 as a preamble to the opening of the 56th edition of the Quinzaine des Cinéastes.

Under the aegis of Directors Fortnight and its artistic director Julien Rejl, this edition is godfathered by Lav Diaz who: "Deeply appreciates this initiative which opens the way for emerging filmmakers in the region."
