The Covid-19 pandemic has indeed hit the film industry hard in a lot of ways. Many movies originally sche­duled to be made and released this year were postponed or canceled, with film productions being put on a halt because of quarantine restrictions.

Cinemalaya, the country’s biggest independent film festival, was one of those greatly affected. With no feature-length films in competition, this year’s festival will instead focus on Short Films in Competition, Gawad CCP Para sa Alternatibong Pelikula at Video, Cinemalaya Retrospectives, Short Films in Exhibition and many more.
