ONCE wasn?t enough.

Members of Lomomanila are back and ready to invade Mogwai once again with Cinemalomo?a festival featuring short films shot with quirky and fun film cameras.

Like last year, the people behind the films used their toy cameras to spin tales of life, love, loss and loneliness. And tonight, everyone is invited to watch them.

Here are just some of the films that are to be screened at Mogwai in Cubao X tonight, starting at 8 p.m. There?s no doubt about it, this a cinematic experience you?ve never had before.
