FAAPVI invites you to “Sama-sama Tayo sa Sinehan at Kainan” (Sharing the Filipino Cinema and Food Experience). This two-week Filipino Food Fest features Filipino food vendors who will sell ‘meriendas’ (Filipino hors d’oeuvres and desserts) before each movie screening at the Fil-Am Center. Participating Filipino restaurants and other food establishments will offer a special at their business location, which can be an entrée or a dessert named after the movie icons/ characters of the film.

The featured international movie, “When I Met You in Tokyo” by JG Productions, is one of the official entries of the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival (Philippines), as well as an entry at the Manila International Film Festival (Los Angeles), and stars Filipino movie icons, Vilma Santos (won Best Actress for both Film Fests) and Christopher de Leon.
