#CulturePH – Bakit Parang Ikaw Rin Yung Nasa Screen: Cinemalaya 22 Wants You to See Yourself This August

Cinemalaya is back for its 22nd edition, running August 6 to 18, and this time the festival isn't just longer, it's aiming deeper. The theme, Reel Reflections, treats cinema less as entertainment and more as a mirror, one angled toward the messiness of being Filipino right now: the family tensions we don't talk about at reunions, the identities we're still figuring out in our 30s, the quiet resilience that gets normalized because, well, ano pa ba ang gagawin.
