Sa ikatlong edisyon, pinagmamalaki pa rin ng Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival sa pangunguna ni festival director Chris Cahilig ang proyektong ito dahil 26 orihinal na pelikula ang magdadala sa multi-generation audience sa iba’t ibang obra ng Pinoy filmmakers.
Kabilang sa festival ang 7 full-length films na tumanggap ang bawat isa ng ₱5 million production grant para makabuo ng kanilang mga obra.
Samantala, ang 19 iba pang entries ay obrang pinagsumikapan ng mga estudyante na mula sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa.
“Every film in this year’s CinePanalo carries the passion of its creators. Giving these stories a platform where audiences can experience and celebrate them is our way of supporting Filipino artistry and contributing to the continued growth of Philippine cinema,” ani Ivy-Hayagan Piedad, festival chair ng Puregold CinePanalo.
Nagsimula noong September 23, ang entries ay tuloy-tuloy na mapapanood hanggang October 4 sa Gateway Cineplex 18 sa Araneta City Cubao, Trinoma, Fairview Terraces, Ayala Malls Feliz, Ayala Malls Circuit, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, at Market! Market!
