CineSilip Film Festival

CineSilip Film Festival is a erotic film festival in the Philippines organized by VMX. The first edition was held in October 2025.

Background

VMX, a platform known for streaming adult-oriented media, launched the CineSilip Film Festival in October 2025 with Ronald Arguelles as its inaugural festival director.

The festival was established to provide a platform for emerging Filipino filmmakers to tell stories beyond mainstream conventions, particularly those tackling adult or controversial subject matter. It also seeks to challenge the stigma surrounding erotic or mature-themed Filipino cinema by providing institutional recognition and a legitimate space for exhibition.

First edition

The inaugural edition was held from October 22 to 28, 2025 with the seven entrant films screened in select Ayala Malls cinemas. The films were selected from 100 film submissions. The awarding ceremony was held on October 28, 2025.

Dreamboi won several major awards, including Best Film, Best Director, and the Audience Choice Award. The film gained attention after initially receiving an “X” rating twice from the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) before finally being approved for public screening with an R-18 classification.
