The 2023 Summer Metro Manila Film Festival was an iteration of the annual Summer Metro Manila Film Festival held in Metro Manila and throughout the Philippines. It was organized by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) in partnership with the Cinema Exhibitors Association of the Philippines.[1] The theme of the film festival would be "Tuloy-tuloy ang Saya" (lit. 'The fun continues').[2]
The inaugural edition was supposed to be held in 2020, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The 2023 edition is now considered to be the first iteration of the film festival.
Following the organization of the 2022 Metro Manila Film Festival, the MMDA announced on January 9, 2023, that the summer film festival will be held from April 8 to 18, 2023. The parade of stars was scheduled to be held on April 1, 2023, while the awards night will be on April 11, 2023.[1]
The deadline of submission for entries was set on February 17, 2023.[2]
