(SPOT.ph) Local cinema is teeming with talent and moving stories that mirror our reality as Filipinos. Streaming has made the latest releases more accessible over the years, but some of the classics from years back are a bit harder to find, much to the sadness of cinephiles everywhere. Turn that frown upside down because you can watch several films from the Cinemalaya Film Festival catalog for free this month—on the big screen, no less!
From July 10 to 27, the Film Development Council of the Philippines, or the FDCP, is screening past Cinemalaya titles for free at their cinematheques nationwide. The screenings are 100% and open to the public, with walk-ins accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.
FDCP Cinematheque Centres in Manila, Iloilo, Davao, Negros, and Nabunturan will show 15 notable titles from the Cinemalaya archive, including Cinemalaya Best Films Pepot Artista (2005), Tribu (2007), Last Supper No. 3 (2009), Ang Babae sa Septic Tank (2011), Transit (2013), and Bwaya (2014). Check out the full schedule and list of films below!
