The QCinema International Film Festival (QCinema) has released the full QCinema 2019 schedule. Now on its seventh instalment, the Festival will screen local and international films in select cinemas within Quezon City, from October 13 to 22, 2019.
In QCinema’s previous iterations, entries were screened only in mall-owned cinemas. This year, the Festival has also partnered with microcinemas, as well as the UP Film Institute (UPFI), to screen the local and international films in its lineup. To help you plan ahead, we’ve compiled the QCinema 2019 schedule below. Please note though screening schedules and cinema assignments are still subject to change, so be sure to check with the cinemas before the screening.
