this blew up a bit hope y'all get to watch these amazing south east asian (and a few middle eastern still trying to get into that area of cinema)

i'd recommend waiting for some films at our microcinemas (76, centenario, black maria, cine adarna)

i suggest downloading the mubi app though! most of the films i've seen are from there. it's kinda like netflix, but it introduces a different film everyday, from different parts of the world. it's free for students if you register with your .edu email!

wow this blew up anyway if you want more cinematic masterpieces check out all of loona's music videos and teasers fuck the mcu, loonaverse superior
