Best Practices Exchange
The Best Practice Exchange (BPX) is a forum for debate among the leaders of agencies from across the world that provide public funding to stimulate, sustain and promote new filmmaking for the cinema. More than ever before, these agencies are the bedrock of ‘independent’ work for the big screen, that is, films made outside the main production centres of Hollywood and Bollywood, films that express all the other cultures, values and languages that mainstream movies do not encompass.
Philippine Film Industry Month
