Home > Library > Miscellaneous > Wikipedia

The 1st Metro Manila Film Festival was held September 21, 1975. Known then as the 1975 Metropolitan Film Festival, the filmfest was held September 21, 1975 to commemorate the third anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law.

JE’s "Dilingin mo ng Hamog ang Uhaw na Lupa" won the Best Picture award. Joseph Estrada (for Diligin) and Charito Solis (for Araw-Araw, Gabi-gabi) won the Best Actor and Best Actress respectively.

Nora Aunor's entry, NV Productions’ Batu-Bato sa Langit (directed by Luciano B. Carlos), was a hit and won as 3rd Best Picture. Vilma Santos, on the other hand, gave a notable performance in Roma Films' Karugtong ang Kahapon.

That time, Nora and Vilma were in their peak, their career and the movies they made were being followed closely, compared, watched, praised, scrutinized both by fans and critics. Their storied and fierce rivalry dominated our movie industry for years. In fact, one could argue that even to this day, a Filipino movie fan is either a Noranian or a Vilmanian.
