May singkwenta ka ba d’yan?

For just 50 pesos, the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) is opening the doors to powerful Filipino storytelling with Sine 50: Pelikula ng Bayan, running from April 13 to 30, 2026.

Held across FDCP Cinematheque Centres in Manila, Iloilo, Davao, and Negros, the initiative brings cinema closer to the people, spotlighting stories that reflect Filipino struggles, identity, and everyday realities. Admission is simple: walk in, line up, and secure your seat on a first-come, first-served basis.

Cinema for everyone

Among the featured films is Himpapawid, directed by Raymond Red, starring Ronnie Lazaro, John Arcilla, and Soliman Cruz—a gritty look into survival on the margins.

Also screening is Lorna, helmed by Sigrid Andrea Bernardo, featuring Shamaine Buencamino and Lav Diaz, offering a deeply human portrait of longing and resilience.

More than a film showing, Sine 50 is a celebration of Philippine cinema’s richness—proof that meaningful stories don’t need a hefty price tag.
