Entries to the 9th edition of Cinemanila International Film Festival are now being accepted. The deadline for submission is June 24, 2007.

Last year's winners include two internationally acclaimed films, Jeffrey Jeturian's Kubrador and Brillante Mendoza's Manoro. The Bet Collector (the international name of Kubrador), starring Gina Pareño, garnered awards from the 2006 Osian Cinefan Festival of Asian Cinema and the Moscow International Film Festival. Meanwhile, the Aeta film Manoro received a special award from the Torino International Film Festival in Italy.

Cinemanila paved the way for indie films such as these to penetrate the international scene. For this year, the competition is open to all filmmakers with full-feature/short/docu films (DV / HD / 24P / HDV / 35mm) with English subtitles.

To be eligible for participation, films must be produced after January 2006 and should not have been exhibited commercially, locally or internationally or in prior local festivals. Entries must be 80 minutes (minimum) to 130 minutes (maximum) in length (for full feature and docu) and 1 minute (minimum) to 59 minutes (maximum) (for short films and docus) including credits.

The Entry Selection Committee will choose ten (10) films from among the qualified entries, to participate in the Main Competition (international). A number of films will also be chosen to participate in the short film and documentary competition and exhibition and Digital Lokal competition. Please take note that all accepted short films will shoulder the fee for the application of MTRCB permit.

The 9th Cinemanila International Film Festival, organized by the Independent Cinema Association of the Philippines (ICAP) and MovPix International will be held on August 8 to 19 in selected theaters all over Metro Manila, Philippines.

Aside from parallel competitions for full-length, short and documentary films, there will also be distinct exhibitions, tributes, marathon showings, conferences and other special events. Seminars and workshops will also be held during the festival and will cover subjects and issues on independent filmmaking. Directors, producers, critics and actors throughout Asia, Europe and North America will be invited to attend the film event.
