Japanese Filmfest Eiga Sai 2008 at Shangri La, CCP and UP Film Institute

Woot! The Eiga Sai is here again. I attended Eiga Sai 2006 and I liked it! I missed it last year though. Good thing, it’s here again and I’m so excited! Free Film Festivals are a gift from God!

Eiga Sai features Japanese film. July, after all is the Japan Friendship Month. Eiga Sai 2008 is brought to us FOR FREE! Yep, you heard that right, it’s for FREE! There is such a thing as “free lunch.” Yahoo!

The movies will be shown at the Shangri la Cineplex, the CCP, and UP Film Institute.
