Changes from previous years
On September 2011, Atty. Francis Tolentino, chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority to widen the scope of the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). He announced that for the first time a student short film category has been included in this year’s film fest.
Entries
Originally, there were 8 mainstream films in the 2011 film festival. But due to some issues, Hototay, which is supposedly the comeback movie of Nora Aunor, and Mr. Wong of Robin Padilla was pulled out to the festival. One of these spots will be filled in by the ninth movie, which earlier didn't make it to the official list. This would be Manila Kingpin: The Untold Story of Asiong Salonga. Two films also submitted their scripts as their entries but did not make it to the official list. They are Spring Films' Kimmy Dora N D Temple of Kiyeme and Star Cinema's Love Will Lead You Back.
