The Cinema One Originals Film Festival, a division of ABS-CBN Films commonly known as Cinema One Originals, is an independent film festival in the Philippines held annually in the month of November in Quezon City. Its primary goal is to showcase the diverse talent and voices of Filipino film makers. The film festival is produced by Cinema One, a cable television network owned by ABS-CBN Corporation.
The film entries are split into two categories, Plus and Currents, based on the films' marketability.[1] From the scripts submitted to the screening committee, five films are granted two million pesos each for the Cinema One Plus category while ten films are granted one million pesos each for the Cinema One Currents category. The selection is based on the quality of scripts and presentation of the film makers.[2]
