May 24, 2010 - PRLog -- The Monaco Charity Film Festival (MCFF) opened its 5th charity film event in Monaco on May 5th. This festival not only allows young film makers to present and distribute their works but uses film’s star power to raise money for charity causes around the world. MCFF has already raised enough money to buy a house in the Philippines that will be used as a street children and child abuse recovery orphanage by the Virlanie Foundation. This year, MCFF is also in the process of raising money for ECPAT Monaco, a charity organization devoted to ending child prostitution and trafficking.

This ground-breaking festival was held in Hotel Metropole and Hotel Hermitage Monaco. The event began on May 5th and was closed by a Gala Dinner and spectacle show on May 11th. It screened 100 films in the categories of Feature Film, Documentary, Short Films (Non-student), and Short Student Films. Twenty-nine of these films went on to receive awards.  Each screening was followed by a short discussion with the actors and film makers. Both of these events were free for everyone’s viewing.

Following this year’s success, MCFF is energized by the prospect of discovering more creative filmmakers and looks forward to another year of helping charity causes around the world.
