The deadline for submissions is on or before May 16, until 6 p.m.
The country's biggest independent film competition is open to all Filipino filmmakers. Interested participants may submit a maximum of three entries, but only one entry per proponent may be considered as a finalist.
Submitted entries must have been produced from March 8 to May 16. Short film entries that participated in other local and international festivals and competitions are qualified to join Cinemalaya. However, if an entry is submitted and is selected as a finalist in both the Cinemalaya and Gawad Alternatibo, the said entry will automatically be removed from the Gawad Alternatibo lineup, in favor of Cinemalaya.
