The Road to Cinema Rehiyon 6 is a promotional road screening program sustaining the Cinema Rehiyon Caravan which started in February 2013. The promotional road screening also fortifies the Cinema Rehiyon Reloaded concept wherein films featured in the previous Cinema Rehiyon are rescreened for a newer set of audience for appreciation and understanding.
The Road to Cinema Rehiyon 6 also aims at tapping various academic institutions in Northern Mindanao. Films, like any other forms of art, are essential media for learning and for liberal education. The program allows students from various academic institutions to be exposed to regional films so they can be informed and inspired by the stories, voices and aspirations of people from their own locale.
Winners of CINEMAGIS – Digital Short Film Festival in Northern Mindanao, namely Crossfire by Arnel Mardoquio and Pigadagit by Maria Victoria ‘Bambi’ Beltran are among the featured films of the Road to Cinema Rehiyon 6.
