FDCP CELEBRATES PRIDE MONTH WITH PELIKULAYA 2026

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) proudly celebrates Pride Month 2026 with this year’s edition of Pelikulaya. Running from June 23 to July 3, the festival aims to uplift and honor the LGBTQIA+ community through the power of Philippine cinema.
 

This year’s Pelikulaya program brings together a thoughtfully curated selection of local and international films, alongside talkbacks and discussions, highlighting the depth and diversity of queer experiences across cinematheques nationwide. Through both classic and contemporary stories of identity, self-discovery, and belonging, audiences are invited to see themselves reflected on screen and find connections through shared experiences.
