The Sinehan so Konsulado, formerly called Sinehan sa Summer, is a flagship project of the New York Philippine Consulate and volunteer panelists and participants from the Philippine film industry. It is held annually from August to September at the Philippine Center on Fifth Avenue.
The Sinehan is the only annual event that regularly showcases Philippine classic and indie filmmakers in New York City. Since it began over fifteen years ago, it has become the most well-attended regular event of the Consulate/'s calendar, often drawing SRO crowds to the 125-capacity Kalayaan Hall.
