Filipinos celebrate the Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa (National Language Month) every August, and to pay homage to the Filipino language, TFC puts the spotlight to proudly Filipino films and theater performance as it brings Cinemalaya 2020, the biggest independent film festival in the Philippines and the nostalgic musical “Ang Huling El Bimbo Musical” to the Kapamilyas overseas.
Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival is an annual event established by the Cinemalaya Foundation, a non-stock, non-profit, and non-government foundation that advocates “the development and promotion of the Philippine independent film.” It provides grants to at most 10 full-length feature film producers, recognizes short filmmakers, and supports the growth of practicing and aspiring filmmakers through various masterclasses.
