“We are happy with the success of our soft launch, as we were able to mount a wrestling show after more than two years. As we welcome back fans, old and new, to this new era of Philippine wrestling, we are excited to bring them a wrestling product that they can enjoy and also be proud to call their own.

Now a regular feature in QCinema, this specially-curated program showcases the most interesting new short films from the region, including two from the Philippines.
In exploring diverse cinematic approaches, the line-up of six shorts range from the fiction narrative to social critique and to experimental styles of filmmaking.
This section, curated by filmmaker Carlo Manatad, expands the notion of storytelling for the short film medium in its various possibilities.
Sundance Grand Prize winner, The Headhunter’s Daughterby Don Josephus Raphael Eblahan, tells about an Igorot who leaves her family behind to try her luck as a country singer.
Navigating through the Cordilleran highlands with only her horse and guitar, it is laden with imagery from the American frontier and colonial influences seeping through the film’s images.
Another Filipino filmmaker, Timmy Harn who competed in QCinema’s 2018 main competition with Dog Days, returns to the short form medium in this program.
Papayais an experimental work about a granddaughter who avenges the death of her father by summoning a dreadful visitor to free herself from her scheming grandfather.
Shot in 16mm, it premiered in Kinoskop, an analog festival in Belgrade, Serbia that focuses on alternative shorts shot on celluloid.
Indonesian filmmaker M. Reza Fahriyansyah’s fourth short is Dancing Colors, fresh from its recent Locarno premiere.
It focuses on a troubled teen who is made to undergo a bizarre ritual in a conservation Muslim town. Its amusing twist makes for a pointed statement about religious repression.
Four Nights by Deepak Rauniyar is a short drama about a struggling couple trying to gain a foothold in New York, far away from their home in Nepal.
The husband is a filmmaker and the wife, an actor. Together they face a difficult decision which calls many things into question. Part of Berlinale’s shorts competition this year, the story is based on the filmmaker’s actual experience as it addresses issues regarding immigration, race and class.
The last two titles in the program come from China, representing a sort of rebirth as international recognition is fast gaining for their recent short works.
Driven by a sense of freedom, Chinese short filmmakers have scored significant wins at recent major festivals as this comes when their feature films have seemed to decline internationally.
In her debut, Lili Alone, Zou Jing’s somber drama tells the story of a poor young mother from Sichuan, who gets involved in a surrogate motherhood scheme in the big city, to help for her sick father’s medical treatment.
After it was awarded the Cannes Cine Discovery Prize last year, the triumph continued with another triumph a few months ago with another prize-winning short from China.
Capturing the 2022 Cannes Palme d’Or Best Film, Story Chen uses an apocalyptic premise in The Water Murmurs. It portrays Nian, who flees her hometown after an asteroid landing. As she searches for her childhood friend, the memories of the town start to become clearer in her mind.
QCinema is slated from November 17 – 26, 2022. It will be held at Gateway, Trinoma, Powerplant, Cinema 76, and SM North EDSA.
Ortigas Malls kicked off its yearly Christmas tradition, the Greenhills Night Market at GStrip on November 4, 2022. The event was organized by Ortigas Malls to welcome the holiday season at Greenhills Mall, the ultimate destination for shopping, entertainment, and dining.
“Greenhills Night Market has always been synonymous with Christmas shopping and the opening signals the start of holiday preparations for everyone,” said James L. Candelaria, AVP, head of trade fairs & exhibits of Greenhills. “Generations of Filipinos grew up shopping at the Night Market with their parents and now with their own families.”
With this year’s theme “Merry Moments,” the Greenhills Night Market is the place-to-be where families and friends can share festive experiences during the holiday season. Adding to the merry mood are the colorful parols that illuminate the Night Market and the rest of Greenhills to welcome the many holiday shoppers.
The opening ceremony was attended by San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora, who addressed guests, patrons, and sellers in his speech. He also explored the Night Market to check out the stalls and their wares. Ortigas Malls also spread Christmas cheer to children of Greenhills’ security maintenance and medical frontliners of Greenhills Mall by distributing gift packs as part of the program.
“Here in Greenhills, we are family, and that’s how we value one another. Nobody gets left behind and we all move forward,” Candelaria said.
One of the Night Market’s main attractions are the food stalls, where visitors can enjoy a wide variety of cuisines after a long day of shopping. From grilled food, filling rice meals, and drinks, among many others. Families and friends can enjoy their meals comfortably at the al fresco dining area in the venue.
Shoppers can also find a plethora of affordable products at the tiangge. It has an abundance of locally made fashion apparel, Christmas decors, toys, and so much more. It’s the ideal spot to complete their Christmas shopping.
Kids are welcome to explore the Night Market as well. There will be exciting carnival rides where parents can accompany them. Late-night visitors can experience a party-like vibe while checking out stalls with live DJs playing lively music. To amp up the holiday fun and add more color to their evenings, visitors can watch fireworks displays on all Saturdays of December.
Ortigas Malls is expecting a large volume of people to visit Greenhills and the Night Market during the holiday rush. But Candelaria assured the public that all participating merchants are fully vaccinated and following strict health protocols. Security officers are also patrolling the area to ensure the safety of shoppers and that everyone is observing proper health procedures at the Night Market. Although wearing of face masks outdoors and indoors is voluntary, visitors and mall goers are still encouraged to wear their face masks to ensure their safety.
“It’s time to make new Christmas memories and traditions at the Greenhills Night Market with your family this season, happy moments that they will always remember and pass on to the next generation,” Candelaria said.
The Greenhills Night Market will run from November 4, 2022 to January 8, 2023, from 4pm onwards at GStrip Parking. Live DJ performances and kids’ carnival rides will be there to entertain visitors every night. Fireworks displays are scheduled on all Saturdays of December.
