The Margaha Film Festival is the first of its kind in Sagay City that encourages all homegrown writers and directors to create a film depicting the Sagaynon heritage and lifestyle through film. In its second run, we are adapting by engaging and involving small communities of Sagay and discovering homegrown talents in filmmaking. With the vision of making Sagay the seat of arts and culture in North Negros, Margaha Film Festival is an event that inspires collaboration, ingenuity, and artistry of the Negrenses.

In the first two years of the festival, the city government has funded and produced 20 short films, written and directed by Sagaynons. These films have competed and exhibited at various local and national film festivals and events amid the pandemic. In partnership with the Film Development Council of the Philippines, Margaha Film Festival has hosted FDCP Online Film School to help the local filmmakers create their short films.

As they conduct the third year of the festival, Margaha will exhibit three centerpiece short films and will conduct the first Margaha Story Lab, a month-long write-shop and story development that will help local filmmakers improve their short films that will compete in the 2023 edition.

This year’s Margaha Film Festival will stream online from February 21 - 28, 2022!
