Changes from previous years

The November 28, 2010 Entertainment Column in Manila Bulletin by Crispina Martinez-Belen, announced changes for the 2010 film festival:

The commercial viability criterion (box-office performance of the entries) was removed. As of 2010, the criteria for the selection of Best Picture(s) are: artistry; creativity and technical excellence; innovation; and thematic value. Entries are also judged for global appeal (70 percent) and Filipino cultural and/or historical value (30 percent).

Another change in the 2010 festival format was a tribute to independent films with the screening of five indie films during the week preceding the festival. These films were: Senior Year by Jerrold Tarog; Nasaan si Hefte by Jonnah Lim; Presa by Adolf Alix, Jr., Slow Fade by Rommel Sales; and Rindido by Noriel Jarito.

The established board of jurors was expanded to include housewives, drivers, students, teachers, etc.

The festival logo was also changed to feature a map of the Metropolis of Manila, based on the old seal of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority with seventeen stars on it symbolizing the 17 cities and municipality of Metro Manila. The logo for the first 35 festivals featured a torch.

These were the 8 mainstream films in the film festival.
