The screenings will be held at the Shang Cineplex Cinema, Shangrila Mall, Mandaluyong City.

Tingin will also include daily forums with film luminaries like Dr. Patrick Campos (UP) on an overview of contemporary Southeast Asian cinema, and Baby Ruth Villarama on “The Prospects of Film Distribution the Philippine and the Asean region.”
