The Pista Ng Pelikulang Pilipino (PPP) is a celebration of Philippine Cinema where new quality genre films are screened for one week in all regular cinemas nationwide. No foreign film is screened during PPP for the whole country to celebrate its own local films.

Also as a mechanism of distribution support, PPP’s exclusive platform allows Filipino independent producers to benefit and earn from their films and have the comparative advantage against foreign films that usually dominate the other screening dates in the year.

Film festivals are important drivers of film cultures in the regions and in the country. They encourage diversity and for more voices, old and new, to be heard. For the past decade, there has been a surge of local festivals and activities offered to the public. This would lead to a more inclusive appreciation and access to local and alternative content.

The Festival Partnership Program (FPP) provides support and assistance to established local festivals which continue to enrich and diversify the Philippines’ film culture.

The Festival Development Assistance Program (FDAP) is a support program of the FDCP that aims to nurture and sustain film communities in the Philippines. FDCP believes that film festivals, especially those in the regions, are platforms to discover emerging voices and serve as venues to champion the film culture of a particular locality. Through this program, FDCP connects with regional film communities by providing financial and program support to sustain their respective film festivals and film-related community activities.

In partnership with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and Office of Public and Cultural Diplomacy (OPCD), the FDCP has created the PEAP to encourage Philippine Embassies and Consulates to organize film-related cultural activities for Filipinos based abroad to let them discover and appreciate Philippine Cinema even outside their home country.
