While traditionally held at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in Pasay, the festival was forced to go online the past two years due to the pandemic, with films being streamed via KTX. 

However, the festival hinted at a return to in-person screenings this year, saying in its post: “Malapit na tayong muling magkita-kita…Excited ka na ba (We’ll see each other soon…are you excited)?”

Now on its 18th year, the 2022 Cinemalaya Film Festival will run from August 5 to August 14. – Rappler.com
