2013’s Best Films and Performances

By Randy Renier I. Espinoza


2013 was an auspicious year for Philippine Cinema. Aside from the success of Filipino films in festivals overseas, two new local film festivals (CineFilipino and Sineng Pambansa) managed  to supplement the steady supply of quality features churned out yearly by Cinemalaya, now considered the country’s premier festival. The year’s harvest includes a number of noteworthy productions and performances that deserve accolades in the coming awards season.
