Going out to watch movies can be expensive, especially if it’s something you do regularly. IT doesn’t always have to be that way, however. Below, I’ve listed some places where you can watch films for free (or cheaply). While these venues might not be playing the latest blockbusters, they screen out of the ordinary films that you aren’t likely to see elsewhere.

Click the names of each venue to learn more about them.

UP Film Institute (Diliman, Quezon City) There are two public screening rooms in the UPFI – Cine Adarna (the large theater) and the Videotheque room (at the back, second floor). Usually, the screenings at the Videotheque room are free, but the rates for the paid theater are much lower than those from regular cinemas.

Mogwai Cinematheque (Cubao Expo, Quezon City) The first floor of Mogwaiis a restaurant/bar, but the second floor is a screening room. It’s the most comfortable screening room I’ve ever been in, since there are no seats – only large fluffy pillows.

Cinekatipunan @ Mag:net Cafe (Katipunan Ave, Quezon City) Mag:net Cafe is beside Rustan’s Supermarket in Katipunan. The first floor is an art gallery, while the second floor is a screening room and cafe.They also have a Multiply page here.

Pelikula@Titus Brandsma (New Manila, Quezon City) They have free monthly screenings of art films. Click on the link to view theirYahooGroups page.
