The Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival is an annual film festival in the Philippines that showcases and celebrates independent films made by Filipino filmmakers. Established in 2005 by the Cinemalaya Foundation, the festival's goal is to provide a platform for developing and promoting Filipino independent cinema and to support the creation of new and innovative films by providing financial grants, mentorship, and industry exposure.
The festival has become a significant event in the Philippine film industry, as it nurtures and promotes the works of both new and established Filipino filmmakers. It primarily focuses on films that tackle social issues, cultural themes, and stories that reflect the Filipino experience, providing an alternative to mainstream commercial cinema.
The Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival has several competition categories, including the Full-Length Feature and the Short Film categories. Filmmakers from around the country submit their films for consideration, and a selection committee chooses the finalists for screening. Award categories include Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor/Actress.
In addition to the competition, the festival includes workshops, forums, and other events that foster a sense of community among independent filmmakers, industry professionals, and film enthusiasts.
Since its inception, the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival has successfully showcased hundreds of films and contributed to the growth and recognition of the Philippine independent film industry locally and internationally.
