Ngilngig Asian Film Festival
Halloween in Davao is never complete without our own homegrown film festival: the Ngilngig Asian Fantastic Film Festival. It opened on October 25 and will run until October 29.
From what used to be a horror-genre festival, Ngilngig Festival has expanded its scope to become the first fantastic film festival of its kind in Southeast Asia, extending the reach to other neighboring countries’ “ngilngig” and fantastic films that are significant with our own ways of telling stories to promote and preserve our myths, traditions, history and culture into cinematic form.
