Applications are now open to aspiring filmmakers for the CinePanalo film festival in its second year!
After a highly successful and celebrated inaugural run in March of last year, CinePanalo Film Festival is back and offers the highest production grants for full-length materials in the Philippines.
For its upcoming 2025 run, a whopping P3,000,000 full-length film production grant will be given to each of seven deserving professional and amateur directors, while 25 promising student filmmakers will each receive a P150,000 short film production grant.
The festival has two categories: (1) short films for students and campus-based filmmakers and (2) full-length films for amateur and professional directors. Applicants are required to submit complete screenplays centered on the theme of “Mga Kwentong Panalo ng Buhay.”
All winning entries will be screened during the festival proper from March 14 to 25, 2025, at the Gateway Cinemas. Furthermore, all films in the festival lineup will be eligible for recognition at the awards night to be held on March 19, 2025.
The deadline for full-length directors is on July 15, 2024. Meanwhile, student directors in the short film category must submit their applications before August 15, 2024.
