Here Are The 17 Full-Length Films Coming to Cinemalaya 2021

Despite its move to an online platform, this year’s Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival was an official success. The CCP and Cinemalaya Foundation happily announced this yesterday during their closing ceremony on Facebook.

This year, Cinemalaya showcased a vast pool of impressive short films, with Tokwifi bagging the Best Film award. Next year, not only will the festival return to its regular programming of putting full-length films at the forefront, we will also be seeing more titles as both the finalists for Cinemalaya 2020 and 2021 will all be screened!
