The Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival is set for a grander return this year. The festival, which debuted in 2023, aims to provide more opportunities for filmmakers across the country to showcase their talent and creativity.
Fest ival Director Chris Cahilig emphasized the significant increase in grants for this year's participants.'This year is going to be bigger and bolder. Last year, we gave six grants, including the Producer's Choice, with each full-length category receiving P2.5 million. This year, it's going to be seven films at P3 million each,' said Cahilig in a press conference.In addition to the increased funding for full-length films, the student film category also sees a boost.
For the full-length category, it's open to both amateurs and professionals, including those who joined last year.Puregold's Senior Marketing Manager Ivy Piedad noted that CinePanalo's mandate found it especially important to give opportunities to student filmmakers who may not have the same access to filmmaking resources as established directors do.
