Alliance Française de Manille (AFM) was founded in 1920 and is one of the most prominent foreign cultural institutions in the country today. A non-profit organization committed to promoting the French language and culture, AFM encourages friendly relations between the Filipinos and the French through art and educational programs.

The AFM-PARP will provide Filipino artists with
a financial grant to cover costs for travel and living expenses. These resources are expected to afford
recipients the opportunity for stimulating cultural exchanges and collaboration
with other artists, and uninterrupted creative time.
The Fondation Alliance Française, in partnership
with the French magazine Courrier international, has launched an international
photography contest on the theme “I’m 20 years old in my country” (“J’ai 20 ans
dans mon pays”) or photographs of the youth of the Philippines. The local photography’s selection is organized by the
Alliance Française de Manille with the support of Silverlens Gallery.
The sky over Wenders' war-scarred Berlin is full of
gentle, trench coated angels who listen to the tortured thoughts of mortals and
try to comfort them.
The exhibition
will feature black-and-white-themed works from the 45-year artistic career in
the Philippines of French artist Henri Etève a.k.a. Di Meliora, and is one of
three simultaneous exhibitions in three different venues: Alliance Française de
Manille, White Cube Gallery (Metropolitan Museum of Manila) and Alliance
Française de Cebu.
