    The 2008 festival marks our fifth year of bringing feature films, shorts, music videos, and documentaries to Chicago. We feature works from rising talents from the Filipino American independent scene, as well as acclaimed works from the vibrant cinema of the Philippines.

The Music Video Category will include a cash prize of $1,000. To qualify music videos must represent a collaboration between filmmakers and musical artists.

Deadline:
The early deadline for submissions is September 15, 2008. Entries must be received on this date. Late entries may be accepted until October 1, 2008; however entries received on or before the early deadline may receive stronger consideration.
