Film criticism, of course, thrives only when people become audiences free to choose the films they want to watch; filmmakers have the liberty to move around, introspect, examine and make sense of the world gone mad or beautiful; and critics can go to town literally to guide audiences through feature films, short films, documentaries or any other forms beyond classification. — Tito Genova Valiente (Reeling, Business Mirror)
