Scene and Winners of 9th Cinemalaya Film Festival 2013

Isa sa mga interesting na pangyayari sa pagitan ng buwan ng Hulyo at Agosto ay ang Cinemalaya Film Festival kung saan ipinapamalas dito ang galing nating mga Pilipino sa paggawa ng isang pelikula gamit lamang ang maliit na budget para dito, ika nga nila lahat ng bagay nagsisimula sa maliit.

Anu nga ba ang Cinemalaya Film Festival? At paano ito nagsimula?

Ayon sa kanilang website , "The Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival is a film festival in the Philippines held annually in the month of July at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Its aim is the development and promotion of Filipino independent films. The film festival is organized by the Cinemalaya Foundation, with the support of the Cultural Center of the Philippines and Econolink Investments, Inc.
Each year, the Festival provides "seed investments" of Php 500,000 (USD 10,000~) to ten independent filmmakers. 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 festival organizing committee is headed by veteran Filipino director and actress Laurice Guillen. The committee oversees the production of the films, sometimes interfering with filmmakers' artistic decisions."

Narito ang ilan sa mga eksena noong Awards Night ng 9th Cinemalaya Film Festival.
