Good to know

Tickets for the well reviewed titles sell out within hours of the schedule going live, usually in late October. The prices shown are based on the 2025 edition and the 2026 rates are published with the lineup, so check the festival site. Gateway is the easiest venue to reach, sitting above the MRT and LRT interchange at Cubao.

About this event

QCinema has become the strongest festival in the country for international programming, bringing Cannes, Berlin and Venice titles to Quezon City months before they reach streaming. The fourteenth edition runs for ten days across partner cinemas, alongside the QCShorts competition that funds five Filipino short films each year. Quezon City holds a UNESCO Creative City of Film designation and this festival is the main reason why.
