Welcome to the Unreel Cinemalaya 2019 Festival Guide! It’s the one-page primer for all-things Cinemalaya 2019 – complete with information on film entries (full-length and short films), trailers, tickets, screening schedule and more. Read on for our festival guide.

The Cinemalaya Film Festival returns for its fifteenth iteration on August 2-13, 2019. This year, the country’s premier film festival sails nationwide, as screenings will now be open in cinemas outside Luzon. Festival goers from Visayas and Mindanao can now catch screenings of competing films at Ayala Malls Legazpi, Capitol Central Bacolod, Abreeza Davao, Vista Cinemas Pampanga, Vista Cinemas Naga, and Vista Cinemas Iloilo.

Last year’s theme was “Wings of Vision”. As of writing, the Cinemalaya Foundation is yet to reveal this year’s theme, although it has already released a very “eye-catching” festival poster, which you can see to the right.

Update: Read our Cinemalaya 2019 Reviews for the Festival entries this year.

As of writing, Cinemalaya has not yet announced any method of purchasing your tickets online. However, you can contact the CCP Box Office for ticket inquiries at 832-3704, or Ticketworld’s ticketing hotline at 891-9999.

Is there concession stands (food, drinks, etc.) available near CCP? Any recommendations?

A whole strip of food vendors set up shop around CCP during Cinemalaya. This should give festival goers a good selection of food and snack items. Beyond that, there are food establishments nearby at the Harbour Square.

How to go to CCP via commute?

The easiest commute to CCP would be via the LRT-1. Alight at Vito Cruz station. You’re to turn right at P. Ocampo Street; from there, you have the option to walk (15 minutes), take the jeepney or hail a tricycle. Here’s a GMaps screenshot for your reference.
