The 2024 International Film Festival Manhattan (IFFM) Online Edition runs from November 20 to 26, 2024, offering a diverse showcase of international and Filipino films. Co-produced by REMS Entertainment, under Direk Gabby Ramos, and iWantTFC, this event organized by IFFM NYC director Luis Pedron marks the second year of their collaboration and follows the IFFM New York City edition last October.
“We would like to open up Independent Films not only to Filipinos in the Philippines and in Asia but for all film enthusiasts around the world,” said Luis Pedron, IFFM New York City Director.
The festival presents a selection of thought-provoking films aimed at entertainment and education. Pedron further noted, “It’s so exciting to have our International Film Festival Manhattan open up our borders not only to Manhattan NYC but because of the platform iWantTFC, now anyone around the world can participate in our festival to celebrate films and to celebrate humanity.”
How to Watch: Films are accessible via iWantTFC tickets.
