Independent films are freer than mainstream movies to focus on social issues in depicting the human condition with nuance and depth. A study analyzed films submitted to the Cinemalaya film festival in the Philippines from 2005 to 2011. Through qualitative content analysis of 64 selected films, it found that 23 portrayed social issues prominently. The films generally depicted culture dynamically and as embedded in human organization, showing how culture can challenge characters or influence their choices and paths. Culture also shaped plots in two main ways - as the source of conflict or as the setting defining how characters pursue their fates. While representations varied, most films portrayed culture as a influence on people, though some showed it uniting and dividing them. The films recognized culture as highly

Liberated from business
contemplations, non mainstream movies present a lot of commitment in taking full advantage of the social focal point as they portray human condition with subtlety and profundity. Ramon Sarmiento endeavors to check that hunch by examining the films entered in the fundamental rivalry of the Cinemalaya festival from 2005 to 2011. The method used in this study is qualitative content analysis of selected films done on three stages: selection of sample, content analysis and interpretation. In results, 64 movies contained parts of culture, 23 of them demonstrated considerably social in their portrayals. All the more explicitly, the kind of culture depicted is in sync with contemporary anthropological speculating, that is ideas lumped wherein culture is held to be dynamic, generally implanted, and to a great extent dependent upon human organization. culture either behaved like challenges to deal with these characters adventure through, or presumably as justification behind their inclinations both for genuine setting and giving means to achieve them. As regards to plot bearing, culture figured out in two fundamental ways; as the source of the very battle itself, without a doubt as the given setting that concludes how characters seek after their fates.How do films depict culture? While the symbolism contrasts, a more generous perspective on culture is given, one that sees it as contingent instead of unequivocally deterministic and as something that might join as well as gap individuals. Regardless, a larger number of films than not depicted culture similar to a weight on people. The collection of films has a great many social viewpoints, yet in general, they all recognize how significant culture is to human affairs.
