CINEMALAYA IS GOING ONLINE- HERE’S WHAT AND HOW YOU CAN WATCH

It is confirmed, Cinemalaya will be streaming online starting August 7 to August 16.

With the theme “Streaming consciousness,” Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival has strengthened its reach and visibility through the use of the online video platform Vimeo on Demand as it migrates its offerings in the world wide web amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 16-year-old film festival traditionally holds its screening at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex in Pasay City, but due to the quarantine and several area lockdowns, the committee behind Cinemalaya has decided to stream the films online.

A minimum of P75 will fetch a bundle of five titles, while P350 will secure the entire library throughout the festival duration, organizers said.

Here’s a look at the 10 short film finalists in the main competition.
