It aims to encourage the production of quality films and to conduct film-related events that enhance the skills of the Filipino talents. The agency also leads the film industry’s participation in domestic and foreign film markets, and local and international film festivals, and is tasked to preserve and protect films as part of the country’s national cultural heritage. PISTA NG PELIKULANG PILIPINO is a multi-day festival of original Filipino films that will be seen and enjoyed nationwide. This highly successful showcase of our film industry’s ingenuity and artistry began in August 2017 in partnership with cinemas throughout the country with the objective of creating wider platforms for Filipino films to gain more audience share and profit, as well as to promote excellence in filmmaking. Now on its fourth year and in light of the pandemic, PPP premieres in the FDCP Channel online in support of Filipino filmmakers and producers to feature an exciting curation of 90 full feature films and 80 short films. Highlighted by the recent events, we need to address the demands of the audience and meet them where they are. FDCP CHANNEL is an initiative of the Film Development Council of the Philippines to provide an alternative exhibition platform for the film community.
