“The themes that we present is more on diversity which is something very Filipino and Spanish. We think that another topic (to relate) is loneliness. There are many films talking about this kind of society which is crowded and always surrounded by people but at the end of the day, you arrive home you are one with your dramas. I think that can also be something as Filipino and very Spanish so we have themes exploring that. Roots are also very present in this film festival we are trying to show them ours (Spanish) through filmmakers, writers,” remarks Francisco Javier López Tapia, director of Instituto Cervantes de Manila.
