CineMalaya 2008 Awards

by Grace on July 20th, 2008

Some of the country’s top independent film directors and writers attend this bige event! Actually, they (the judges) have been at this for days now, to watch and criticize movies one after the others.

Cinemalaya 2008 is the annual Philippine Independent Festivals awards. In this competition, The Cultural Center of the Philippines awards seed money for independent film directors to produce the film.  The finalists and a short description of each are written here.

CineMalaya 2008 awarded the Best Direction to Chris Martinez for his film “100“, about a to-do list of a cancer-stricken woman before she dies. Judging from the reception at the awards, and from reading this review, this film is on my own must-see! Watch the trailer -

The film “Jay” by Francis Xavier Pasion  was awarded the Best Actor (Baron Geisler) and Best Picture.
