has trebled its annual filming incentives budget from $1 million to $3 million, effective from 2022.
“Electric Child” by Swiss Simon Jaquemet, produced by Switzerland’s 8horses GmbH with local production company Epicmedia Productions, was recently approved to receive a 20% cash rebate on its eligible expenses in the Philippines under the LocationProgram. The fund requires a minimum qualified production spending of PHP 8 million in the Philippines in order to receive a 20% cash rebate that is capped at PHP 10 million.

Xeph Suarez’s “Dancing the Tides” — where a Muslim trans-gender woman is torn between living blissfully with her boyfriend or following her tribe’s customs by marrying a woman betrothed to her at birth — is a part of the festival’s La Fabrique Cinéma de l’Institut Français, a program helping talented young directors increase their international exposure.
