KURT ADRIAN M. DE LA PEÑA, 21, visited small cinema theaters that showcased independent films before a global coronavirus pandemic forced movie houses to shut down.
He had to turn to over-the-top content platforms to satisfy his yearning for alternative titles made by filmmakers who seek to inspire change through their masterpieces.
“It was really hard for me to accept that I could no longer watch films inside microcinemas due to the pandemic,” he said in a Facebook Messenger chat. “The experience cannot be compared to online film viewing experience.”
The global film industry has suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cinemas and movie theaters were shuttered, festivals were canceled and a number of film releases got delayed after film productions were halted.

In Proclamation No. 1085, the President has declared the month of September as the “Philippine Film Industry Month.”
“There is a need to recognize the invaluable contribution and sacrifices of all stakeholders and sectors of the film industry as well as provide avenues to showcase and celebrate the achievement and progress of the discipline of film and filmmaking,” the proclamation read.
The President has directed the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) to lead the observance of the film industry month and identify programs and activities for its celebration.
The council, created by law in June 2002, is mandated to promote the growth of the local film industry, organize film festivals, promote skills of Filipino talents on filmmaking, and establish a cinema evaluation system.
