The Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival is a film festival in the Philippines held annually during the month August at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex and various cinemas. Its aim is the development and promotion of Filipino independent films. The film festival is organized by the Cinemalaya Foundation, Inc. with the support of the Cultural Center of the Philippines and Econolink Investments, Inc.
Each year, the Festival provides seed investments of ₱500,000 (US$10,000~) to ten independent filmmakers. It has since been increased to ₱1,000,000 (US$20,000~) since 2019. These ten finalists are culled from hundreds of submissions from all over the Philippines. Their films debut at the festival, together with in-competition short films, as well as various out-of-competition works. The organizing committee, headed by veteran Filipino director and actress Laurice Guillen, oversees the production of the films and the festival. The latest edition 15th edition of the festival was held from August 2-11, 2019 in Metro Manila and from August 7-13, 2019 in selected regions.
