Because of the continuing COVID-19 situation, the country's biggest independent film festival will have its second online edition this year. On its 17th year, Cinemalaya will focus on Short Films in Competition, Gawad CCP Para sa Alternatibong Pelikula at Video, exhibitions under the Visions of Asia, Documentary and Premiere section.
Alongside these festival components, Cinemalaya revitalizes its education initiatives through masterclasses offered by the Cinemalaya Institute.
In addition, starting this year, a salient breakthrough for upcoming Cinemalaya finalists is the Film Lab, which will give them the opportunity to learn from professionals and experts in the industry the different aspects of filmmaking — from scriptwriting, directing, cinematography, performance, editing, production design, sound, music, production management to promotion strategies.
Co-produced by the Cultural Center of the Philippines and the Cinemalaya Foundation, Cinemalaya 2021 will have a month-long run starting August 6, 2021.
