I missed out watching the film finalists for the recently concluded Cinemalaya 2008. When Bee and I watched a few weekends ago, we ended up watching a non-competing film, Imoral, which, literally devirginized our eyes. I don’t really open my mail everyday, much to my dismay. If only I read this mail sent to me a few days ago, i would have planned another indie film movie day. I heard these films were great.

Anyway, ten full-length films from Cinemalaya 2008 along with films from previous Cinemalaya competitions are being screened this week and the next at the UP Film Center.If you missed out seeing them, here’s your chance!
