The second activity is a mini-project market where 20 selected participants will pitch their feature-length film projects in a speed-dating style to possible partners of the projects. This activity will follow the basic principles of project platforms such as Paris Project, the Berlinale Talent Project and the Pusan Promotion Plan but on a smaller scale.

2012 CINEMALAYA
INDEPENDENT FILM CONGRESS
July 24 & 25, 2012 / CCP Little Theater
MAINSTREAM AND INDIES: Friends, Enemies or Allies? Are indie and mainstream really water-tight categories or are they necessarily porous in a country such as ours? Are they necessarily inimical to each other or can they work together in some ways? Can indie and mainstream actually learn from each other and thereby improve the quality of their respective productions and make these more meaningful and accessible to a wider majority of Filipinos? What can each one contribute to the formation of the national cinema and the nation itself?
The objectives of the film congress:
- to define the characteristics and mainstream filmmaking and clarify the relations between them;
- to see how indie and mainstream filmmaking can benefit from each other, if at all; and
- to establish how each can contribute to the development of Philippine Cinema, either together or independently of each other.
Entry fees are Php500 for non-students and Php250 for students.
