The
Istorya ng Pag-asa Film Festival (INPFF) returns in 2020 to provide a
venue for both established and aspiring Filipino filmmakers to bring
stories of hope and inspiration to the nation.
A
joint initiative of the Office of Vice President Leni Robredo and the
Ayala Foundation, Inc., the INPFF will mark its third run in 2020,
fully intending to surpass the success of its first two years.
The
2020 edition of the nationwide, all-digital film competition is being
launched this Nov. 27. It aims to attract a broader number of
participants and entries which bring to the screen everyday tales of
ordinary Filipinos achieving extraordinary victories through
perseverance, determination, and unquenchable hope.
Next
year's INPFF will feature bigger cash prizes. P100,000 will be
awarded to the year’s Best Film. The first and second runners-up
will receive P50,000 and P30,000, respectively.
The
top three films will also be showcased at Ayala Mall Cinemas
nationwide.
The
INPFF is open to all Filipinos, both professional and
non-professional filmmakers, local and overseas-based Filipinos, who
must tell their chosen story of hope in a three- to five-minute short
film.
“It
is our hope that through Istorya ng Pag-asa—lalo na iyong Istorya
ng Pag-asa Film Festival—Filipinos will be united around the common
values of hope, of perseverance, deep faith, and the goodness of
humanity. Kasi iyon iyong talagang underlying theme ng bawat
kuwento,” says VP Leni.
Deadline
for submission of entries is on March 27, 2020. For full contest
mechanics, interested participants may go to
