The ''37th Metro Manila Film Festival'' (MMFF) is the annual film festival in Manila, Philippines that is held from December 25, 2011 until the first week of January 2012. During the festival, no foreign films are shown in Philippine theaters in order to showcase locally produced films. The gangster movie ''Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story'' reaped the most number of awards including the Best Picture, Best Director for Tikoy Aguiluz, at the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival "Gabi ng Parangal" on Wednesday night. "Asiong" is a remake of the 1961 film that starred former President Joseph Estrada. It is based on the life of a Tondo gangster in the 1950s, who was responsible for much crime but eluded capture using his wits and charm. The movie also won the Gatpuno Antonio J. Villegas Cultural Awards, which is given to a film that "embodies the values of Filipinos and the country’s heritage, history and culture". ''Enteng ng Ina Mo'', featuring the team-up comedians Vic Sotto and Ai Ai delas Alas, won the Second Best Picture award as well as this year's festival top-grosser, while the ''Shake, Rattle & Roll 13'' directed by Leo Martinez, Jerrold Tarog and Richard Somes, received the Third Best Picture award.〔(MMFF 2011 Box-Office Results: ''Enteng ng Ina Mo'' is the runaway winner; ''Segunda Mano'' comes in second ) via PEP.ph〕 This year's festival also started giving wider choices to viewers by showcasing independent films under the ''New Wave'' category (former named the "Indie Films").〔(View complete screening schedule of the New Wave entries of the 37th MMFF ) on PEP.ph〕 ==Changes from previous years== In 2010, the film festival had undergone some changes. One change is that the festival format will give a tribute to independent "indie" films. For the first time in the 36 editions of the Metro Manila Film Festival, it paid tribute to the independent filmmakers in the country by featuring five indie films in addition to the eight mainstream movie entries in the 36th Metro Manila Film Festival.〔("Changes in 2010 MMFF introduced" ). ''Yahoo''. Retrieved 2014-04-09.〕 In September 2011, Atty. Francis Tolentino, chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) changed the category name of "Indie" films to "New Wave" films to make it sound better and more attractive to hear, as well as including "Student Short Film Category" for the first time.〔("‘Indie’ out, ‘New Wave’ in" ). ''Tempo''. Retrieved 2014-04-09.〕 The ''New Wave'' category starts during this year's festival.〔(View complete screening schedule of the New Wave entries of the 37th MMFF ) on PEP.ph〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2011 Metro Manila Film Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
