Fearless Cinema One Originals Film Festival Coming This November

Walang Takot. The tagline on the 13th Cinema One Originals translates into "fearless" in English and is more than an apt descriptor for the festival's programming ethos and its reputation, the way it has, year in and year out, shepherded unique, adventurous cinematic voices into limelight.

But Walang Takot also exemplifies not only the way the festival is embracing the chaning face and attittudes of cinema, from the paradigm shifts when it comes to new ways of watching films to the influx of a diverse new audience, with a deeper sense of cinematic history and new cinematic modes, but also the way it endeavors to ride the changes by closing the gaps, striving for cinematic experience that allows  for tffaxhe co-existence of old and new platforms and the convergence of old and new audiences.
