For two decades, Cinemalaya has been a beacon of Philippine film, a vessel that has carried the heart, depth, and strength of our nation's stories. From its humble beginnings as a small boat navigating uncharted waters, it has grown into a formidable force, making towering waves in the landscape of Philippine cinema.

Since 2005, Cinemalaya has supported and promoted the production of Filipino full-feature independent films and short films, many of which have won awards in local and international competitions and festivals.
