QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES — TFC shines the spotlight on proudly Filipino films and theater performances by making Cinemalaya 2020, the biggest independent film festival in the Philippines is now streaming, and the nostalgic musical “Ang Huling El Bimbo Musical” available to Kapamilyas overseas.
Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival is an annual event established by the Cinemalaya Foundation, a non-stock, non-profit, and non-government foundation that advocates “the development and promotion of the Philippine independent film.” It provides grants to at most 10 full-length feature film producers, recognizes short filmmakers, and supports the growth of practicing and aspiring filmmakers through various masterclasses.
As Cinemalaya shifts to digital this year, it is able to reach Filipinos overseas because of their partnership with TFC. Shows can be viewed via the All-Access Festival Pass of TFC Online more than 80 films from the Main Competition Short Films, Exhibition Indie-Nation shorts, Gawad Alternatibo Para sa Pelikula at Video, and Retrospective Full-Length films categories, plus the virtual events and classes of Cinemalaya 2020.
