Celebrating more than 20 years of championing Philippine independent filmmaking, the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and the Cinemalaya Foundation, Inc. open the screens for submission to the short film category of the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival 2025.

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.
Entries may be submitted online or offline.
