Here’s how you can watch this year’s Cinemalaya films

This year’s Cinemalaya is going to be digital, so cinephiles can celebrate Philippine cinema safely at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the film festival’s official announcement, more than 100 short films and 20 full-length features will be available on Vimeo from Aug. 7-16.

Instead of standing in line to buy tickets at a theater, viewers can simply log on to Cinemalaya’s website and choose from different “bundles.”

The Basic (Php150) and Standard (Php200) packages already include a selection of movies, but you can buy a Premium (Php350) bundle for a full festival experience.

You can also purchase other feature bundles for as low as P75, including:

Shorts A (Php75)
Shorts B (Php75)
Mindanao (Php75)
Double Feature A (Php75)
Double Feature B (Php75)
Premieres/Triple Feature (Php150)

If you don’t have a Vimeo account, you can easily create one or sign up via Facebook or Google.

Payment can be made thru PayPal, GCash, and debit or credit cards.
