Missed this year’s Cinemalaya IRL screenings? You can still catch films at these QC locations | Lifestyle.INQ

OCTOBER 27, 2022

Cinemalaya, one of the most anticipated independent film festivals, just wrapped up its first in-person screenings after two years of the pandemic. With 11 full-length and 12 short films on its roster, it was back in full swing at the Cultural Center of the Philippines and selected malls from Aug. 5 to 16. And while its lineup is, in fact, slated to make an online premiere later this year, catching them IRL still has its own allure (i.e. collective screams and gasps in theaters).

This is why Cinemalaya is extending its run in another location in Quezon City: Cinema ’76 Film Society in Anonas. 

For P250, you can still watch independent films for another week, starting Aug. 24 until Aug. 30. Cinema ’76 will screen shorts and full-length films as early as 12 p.m. and as late as 8 p.m. To buy tickets, simply fill out this online form. The microcinema requires all audiences to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
