The Dreamanila Group will hold the second edition of the Dreamanila International Film Festival, which celebrates the best of world cinema, on May 22 to 24, 2020.  

Dreamanila International Film Festival, which will hold its second edition in May next year, celebrates the best in world cinema. 

Currently, the festival still accepts film entries worldwide online via Filmfreeway – considered the world’s most trusted film submission platform. Films (shorts and feature length) produced from 2017-2019 are eligible to join. Revered filmmakers and industry players will be invited to select winners among intensively programmed entries.

Founder and Festival Director Archie Del Mundo said that Dreamanila does not just exist to provide screening venues, but it also fosters creative and professional support to masters and emerging filmmakers to showcase their films to the world with the purest and most creative visions and intentions. The Festival features a host of screenings, symposium panels, educational programs and workshops, Q&A portions, and marketing and distribution assistance. 

Del Mundo added, “Manila, as the Philippines’ most exciting historical capital, will provide sociocultural exchange of ingenuity, concepts, and market-building potentials for cultural artists and workers. Dreamanila will guarantee a conducive place for audiences and filmmakers to engage with one another.”

In 2018, the founding edition of Dreamanila International Film Festival showcased over 30 films – 15 shorts and 15 films – both screened live and online among jurors and attendees at the then newly installed CBRC Dream Theater in España, Manila. This year, Dreamanila will be projected and carpet-rolled in its new home. 

Tapped as the Creative and Marketing Director, filmmaker and entrepreneur Charliebebs Gohetia, whose film competed last year, made a throwback to the inaugural film event. 

“Filmmakers from USA to Iran, and as far and as exotic as Nigeria to homeland Philippines participated last year. On our 2nd edition, we intend to triple our selections and multiply our venues with the help of sponsors and hosts,” Gohetia said.

Award winning filmmaker Joselito Altarejos assumed the position of Head Programmer and Cultural Exchange Director. He shared, “the heart of the Festival continues to beat in order to establish a wider reach in discovering more independent filmmakers with ardency of collective, fundamental, and original visions. We will greatly appreciate your support so this massive and significant endeavor can push through with its advocacies.”
