Cinemalaya Indie Film Fest 2013 - List of entries

The 9th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival (2013) happens from July 26 to August 4, 2013 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), Trinoma, Alabang Town Center, and Greenbelt cinemas.

Fifteen films made it to the festival, ten of which are under the New Breed category and the other ten under the Directors Showcase category.

Ekstra, starring Vilma Santos, is perhaps the entry that’s making the most publicity as aside from the Star for All Seasons, there are other highly popular mainstream actors in the film including Piolo Pascual and Marian Rivera.
