WASHINGTON, D.C. 07 June 2018 – The highly-anticipated EuroAsia Short Film Festival (EuroAsia Shorts) 2018 kicked off on 04 June 2018 with the screening of Filipino and Spanish short films at the former residence of the Ambassadors of Spain.
On its 13th year, the EuroAsia Short Film Festival spotlights the stories of WomenWorldWide through a weeklong screening.
The Philippine entries for the first day of the festival are “Johnny Loves Dolores” and “Nanay,” which were written and directed by Filipino filmmaker Clarissa de los Reyes. Both films tackle the struggles and aspirations of Filipino women who make their living abroad.
“We are proud to present ‘Johnny Loves Dolores’ and ‘Nanay’ on the first day of the EuroAsia Shorts 2018 with the theme WomenWorldWide.
