Banned Movies Pilipinas provides the ultimate indie fix with a tantalizing slew of cutting-edge films and diverse musical performances that are fresh, original and hard to find. A typical  Banned Event is a showcase of quality films by award-winning indie filmmakers and live performances of indie bands on a monthly or bi-monthly basis – through a screening of selected short films, interspersed with live musical performances. The company has a slew of successful events under its belt since January 2007.

BMP is also the home of premieres, with the films "Gabi Noong Sinabi ng Ama Kong May Anak Siya sa Labas" (John Torres), "Long Live Philippine Cinema" (Raya Martin), "Literature" and "Philippine Bliss" (Khavn dela Cruz). Whether shorts or feature length films, blast your ears out rock 'n' roll or mindblowing performance art, BMP has it all.

Mark your calendars because BMP's seventh highly anticipated installment, "Women on Top: Women Directors Get Banned!", will take indie by storm on August 31 at Freedom Bar, Anonas, Quezon City.

See exciting new films and listen to the best of Pinoy indie music as the perfect soundtrack for Banned events.
