Note: This is the second part of a three part episode.

An hour isn't enough to discuss the films in this year's Cinemalaya, so without further adieu we give you our insights on selected films from the Indie Nation and Documentary section of the festival.

Despite having enormous time indoors nowadays, it's a huge accomplishment to have all filmmakers join us for one single episode. But we managed with what we can do with our time, and so we gathered some of the best and the brightest from the Main Competition section of the Cinemalaya 2020 film festival.

Part 2: Tokwifi, featuring Carla Pulido and Adrienne Vergara

Tokwifi has been a dream experience for most of us since its entry in last year's QCinema, this time around audiences get to relive that experience again as it joins the roster of main competition films this year. Despite the gruesome internet connection in Benguet, we talk to Carla Pulido and her star Adrienne Vergara, about their film.

Part 1: The Slums, featuring Jan Cobey

It's probably Jan Andrei Cobey's first podcast feature EVER and we are just as delighted to have him on the show! In this episode, we discuss his first ever film, The Slums as it made its way in this year's Cinemalaya, and how graduating from film school with your thesis film making rounds with you opens more doors and chances.

Part 3: Fatigued, with James Mayo

Part-friend of the pod and all-around good guy, James Mayo has always surprised us with the set of films he decides to make. From The Chanters to Kuya Wes, his entry in this year's Cinemalaya is a far cry from the usual melodrama, and quite honestly focuses the theory of the fatigue in our everyday lives in a stylized video-game manner. As the last part of this segment, we also ask him his favorite things to do during the lockdown.
