M-FLIX 2021:
Da Pinoy Pandemic Palabas
ABOUT M-FLIX 2021
​
If all our pandemic emotions as Filipinos were to become music that would thank, wake and inspire, what would it look like?
It would be a re-imagined form of a powerful online musical made up of original songs by excellent Filipino musical artists. And this will be called “M-FLIX”. And for the 2021 version of Mflix, it will be Da Pinoy Pandemic Palabas – hooked on a story of our pandemic emotions threaded by short verse and animation.
The Bonifacio Art Foundation Inc (BAFI), the art and science foundation that conceived and operates, the BGC Arts Center, The Mind Museum and the BGC Public Art Program, working with the curators of its NCCA-cited flagship program, the Pinoy Playlist Music Festival (PPMF), namely National Artist for Music Maestro Ryan Cayabyab, Moy Ortiz and Noel Ferrer, conceived of M-FLIX as the unique online persona of PPMF.
This will be co-presented with the Sun Life Foundation who has been a strong believer in the essential and powerful role of the arts in nation-building and a co-presenter of PMMF since 2018.
​
M-FLIX 2021: Da Pinoy Pandemic Palabas is our special tribute to our frontliners and to the hope that shines in every Filipino.
