2026 INDEPENDENT FILM AND VIDEO FESTIVAL 🎬

In 1986, a new breed of young and idealistic filmmakers announced the emergence of a new kind of motion picture distinct from those produced by the commercial and mainstream movie industry in the Philippines, a movement they called alternative cinema. These are motion pictures produced independently of major production companies, departing from the dominant narrative feature in theme, structure, and aesthetics. Creating their own space to show their alternative films, they launched the Independent Film and Video Festival (IFVF) on September 23-28, 1986, at the Wave Cinema in Cubao, Quezon City.

The IFVF offered itself to the Filipino audience as a rediscovery of independent cinema. Value was placed on what was considered alternative back then – short films, documentaries, and meta-cinema, experimental and animation, women and q***r cinema, political and committed filmmaking, and the then-emerging medium of video. The festival relished the restoration of freedom after two decades of dictatorship and censorship by bringing to public attention cinematic works that were banned or remained hidden from larger circulation, works that recovered the memories of the nation. The IFVF trumpeted alternative cinema as the people’s cinema and heralded the future of filmmaking.

Lightning strikes a second time. The Mowelfund Film Institute (MFI), the institutional organizer of the IFVF, is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the festival and its vital contribution to Philippine cinema. Its legacy is a generation of brave and defiant filmmakers, many of whom were alumni and friends of the MFI, who paved the way for cinema to move towards diverse directions and shaped the future of independent filmmaking. These trailblazers led Philippine cinema to international recognition.

The MFI, together with the Center for New Cinema, commemorates the achievements of the alternative cinema movement started by the IFVF with a monthly screening of independent and alternative films and videos in the past four decades, starting in May 2026 and culminating in September 2026. The programming, with different themes for each month, presents some of the significant cinematic works from the original IFVF and onwards, films and videos that are rarely shown or underappreciated, works by both highly acclaimed and emerging filmmakers, and underrepresented voices coming from alternative spaces of film production. Through this celebration, the MFI hopes to trace the history of alternative cinema from IFVF to the present and to create conversations about its unfolding discourse.
