The 11th Cinemanila International Film Festival will be held from October 15 to 25, 2009 at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. Around 100 international and local films will be screened in a span of 10 days - from the current roasts of the local indie scene to the award-winners and favourites at prestigious festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, Rotterdam, Sundance, and Pusan. The festival will also feature workshops, seminars and master classes.
Cannes 2008 Best Director Brillante Ma. Mendoza's latest film Lola, which opens Cinemanila on October 15, is also the Philippines’ surprise entry to this year’s Venice Film Festival. Meanwhile, Cannes Palme d’Or winner (for his short film Anino) Raymond Red's first major film in nine years Himpapawid (Manila Skies) closes Cinemanila on October 25. Himpapawid is the RP’s entry to this year’s prestigious Tokyo Film Festival.
