The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) chair Liza Diño led a big delegation of filmmakers and artists to the Far East Film Festival last April 24 to 29 in Udine, Italy. Part of the delegation was renowned actresses Elizabeth Oropesa and Gloria Diaz of “Si Chedeng At Si Apple,” which was in competition along with “Smaller And Smaller Circles” and “Ang Larawan.”
