MANILA, Philippines – Erik Matti’s BuyBust has been chosen as the opening film at Cinemalaya 2018, and will be screened following the festival’s opening ceremonies at 6 pm on August 3.

Cinemalaya made the announcement on their Facebook page on July 21.

The film is set to be released in Philippine cinemas nationwide on August 1, but has already been screened in the United States, Canada, and South Korea. Its red carpet premiere will be held on July 22 in Cebu, and July 23 in Manila.
