The Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival is screening seven feature films and 19 student shorts from September 23 to October 4, 2026, at Gateway Cineplex 18 and select Ayala Malls Cinemas. Several late-afternoon and evening screenings for the coming weekend have already sold out. The festival gives Quezon City audiences a chance to discover Philippine stories and student filmmaking close to home. Sold-out sessions also mean it is wise to plan ahead rather than assume seats will be available at the door. Check the festival’s current schedule and ticket availability before travelling, especially for late-afternoon and evening weekend screenings; the available listings identify Gateway Cineplex 18 and select Ayala Malls Cinemas as venues. The provided information does not specify ticket prices, parking arrangements, or registration requirements.
