The FDCP’s Inter-agency Partnership Program aims to support government agencies in their film-related events and executions by providing relevant  films,  hosting talkbacks/discussions, and providing a venue/platform for the film screenings.

Through the UniPhilippines Program, FDCP  has hosted the Philippine Pavilion in major international film markets like Hong Kong FILMART, Cannes Film Market, Asian Film Market, and Asian Television Forum. Around 30 to 40 companies participate in each film market throughout the year to connect with international counterparts for co-production on projects and distribution of films. 

Year by year, more and more Filipino films and filmmakers are being chosen by established and prestigious international film festivals all over the world to compete with films from other countries. Since 2016, more than 100 films have been showcased as part of the lineup of these film festivals either to be in competition or exhibition.

Spotlight: Philippines is a program which aims to promote Philippine cinema globally through partnerships with international festivals, organizations, and institutions. Under this program the Film Development Council of the Philippines showcases retrospectives, special Philippine focus and screenings highlighting significant milestones and key players in Philippine cinema and builds its brand by curating films for international venues and audiences.

The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) continues its thrust to strengthen regional cooperation for the development of the audiovisual industry through its support and participation in the proposed establishment of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) – Republic of Korea (ROK) Film Organisation (ARFO) as initiated by the Korean Film Council (KOFIC). 
 

The Asian Film Commissions Network (AFCNet), a network of film commissions and professional film support agencies throughout Asia, is the region’s first film-related non-profit international organization. 
 
It advocates regional filming in Asia by streamlining information on filming locations, incentives, requirements, and regulations in the region and supporting member organizations in their international co-productions. As of January 2021, the AFCNet has 54 members from 19 countries. 

The Best Practice Exchange (BPX) is a forum for debate among the leaders of agencies from across the world that provide public funding to stimulate, sustain and promote new filmmaking for the cinema. More than ever before, these agencies are the bedrock of ‘independent’ work for the big screen, that is, films made outside the main production centres of Hollywood and Bollywood, films that express all the other cultures, values and languages that mainstream movies do not encompass.
