On Cinema Europa 15

"We don't create plays. We create experiences."
- Sipat Lawin Ensemble

It's also true in these films in the recently finished Manila leg of European Union in partnership of EUNIC, FDCP, Shang Cineplex and IFC's Cinema Europa 15 last September 6-16, 2012 at Cinema 2, Shang Cineplex.

However, how did I find these European experiences? Ask yourself starting with...
