This time of the year would typically see the Cultural Center of the Philippines packed with snaking queues, with viewers lining up to get tickets for the films featured in the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival.
But due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s festival has gone online – which means that people can watch all the films from their own laptops or phones.
Cinemalaya 2020’s roster of films will be available on Vimeo from August 7 to 16 in various bundles, which can be purchasd on the Cinemalaya channel online.
The basic bundle costs P150, and includes a one-week access to the Indie Nation and Dokyu sections of the festival, as well as the Cinemalaya Retrospective Shorts Double Features.
The standard bundle costs P200 and includes everything in the basic bundle, and also gives viewers access to the 10 short films in the main competition.
The premium bundle costs P350, and builds on the standard bundle, but also includes access to various sections of the festival – including tributes to late cinema icons Peque Gallaga and Anita Linda, digital classics, and talkbacks with Cinemalaya filmmakers. For viewers who are only looking to watch specific films, various feature bundles are available starting at P75.
A masterclass on storytelling by acclaimed screenwriter Ricky Lee is open for registration for P300.
Cinemalaya 2020 also offers free access to certain films, including the 2019 winners of the Cinemalaya Campus short shorts, selected short films from allied international festivals, and other works from across Asia.
More details are available on the Cinemalaya channel online. – Rappler.com
