For the first time in 2019, the Film Industry Conference featured the FDCP Project Market to encourage Filipino filmmakers to create more collaborations, both locally and internationally, especially with ASEAN partners, so they may fully assess and maximize platforms for the extensive development of projects even before its completion, thereby increasing their films’ quality and premium.  

The Philippine Film Archive (PFA) initially known as the National Film Archive of the Philippines (NFAP) was established by the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) in January 2011, pursuant to the mandate to establish a film archive as stated in Section 3 of the Republic Act No. 9167. By June of 2011, it became a member of the Southeast Asia-Pacific Audiovisual Archive Association (SEAPAVAA), and a couple of years later became an Associate Member of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) in November 2020.

The Cinema Evaluation System grades films based on standards of quality that grants graded A films with 100% amusement tax incentive from box office returns. Graded B films receive 65% with the remaining 35% forming part of the FDCP’s budget for projects and assistance to films and filmmakers. This system encourages filmmakers to continue producing quality films and gives them the capital to continue on to produce next projects.
