The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) held an annual month-long observation of the Philippine Film Industry Month to celebrate and commemorate the heritage, significance, and legacy of Philippine Cinema and to highlight the invaluable contribution and sacrifices of all stakeholders and sectors of the Philippine film industry in September as mandated under the Presidential Proclamation No. 1085, series of 2021.

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, except in specialty cinemas, in order for the whole country to celebrate its own local films.

The PPP4 Closing and Awards Night was held to honor the finest performances and work in the many categories of the film medium, from among the competing films.

“Cine Filipina” is FDCP’s initiative to celebrate National Women’s Month in the form of film screenings, panel discussions, and other activities throughout March on the FDCP Channel online streaming platform. For 2021, with the theme “Juana sa Gitna ng Pagbabago”, 10 women-centric films bannered the lineup, together with 3 free film screenings, 10 short features from Cinemarya, 2 panel discussions, an opening event, and a closing event.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. The Stonewall Uprising was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement.

FDCP Channel aims to be one with the LGBTQIA+ community in celebrating the Philippine Pride month through PelikuLAYA : LGBTQIA+ Film Festival is a virtual film festival that aims to uphold the essence of celebrating Pride Month in the form of LGBTQIA+-centric virtual film screenings, panel discussions, and events.
