This year, the festival will pay tribute to acclaimed director Gil Portes through a special screening of three of his best films: Mulanay (1996), Two Funerals (2010), and Mga Munting Tinig<\/em> (2002).<\/span><\/p>\n

With his recent passing, director Portes left some notable films, three of which – “Saranggola,” “Gatas sa Dibdib ng Kaaway,” and “Mga Munting Tinig”<\/em> – were chosen as official Philippine entries for best foreign language film in the US Academy Awards. One of his last films, “Ang Hapis at Himagsik ni Hermano Puli,”<\/em> was the closing film in last year’s Cinemalaya.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 29th Gawad CCP Para sa Alternatibong Pelikula at Video, considered the longest-running independent film competition of its kind in the ASEAN region, harvests the best of the best, with films competing in various categories such as Short Feature\/Narrative, Experimental, Documentary and Animation. Pre-selected entries will be screened on August 5 to 7, 2017, at the CCP.<\/span><\/p>\n
