Qouting from the festival's website; What has been assembled in this program is an eclectic mix of films, representing as wide a view of the current landscape as possible. It is difficult to capture the essence of Filipino cinema in a single program; the country is simply too strange and varied to really be summed up. But here we present films from first-time filmmakers, veterans of the mainstream, international festival darlings, local iconoclasts, masters, and even one non-Filipino. Hopefully, a much more representative sample of the current madness in the country than one would likely get from any other venue.
The films to be screened are: "How to Disappear Completely" by Raya Martin, "Jungle Love" by Sherad Anthony Sanchez, "Debosyon" by Alvin Yapan, "Sana Dati" by Jerrold Tarog, "Iskalawags" by Keith Deligero, "Woman of the Ruins' by Keith Sicat, "Ekstra (The Bit Player)" by Jeffrey Jeturian, "Metro Manila" by Sean Ellis, "Oro, Plata, Mata"(The Restored Version) by Peque Gallaga, "Transit" by Hannah Espia, "Ang Huling Cha-Cha Ni Anita (Anita’s Last Cha-Cha)" by Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo, "Walay Tumoy Na Punterya (No End in Sight)" by Cierlito E. Tabay, "Pascalina" by Pam Miras, "Rigodon" by Erik Matti, and "Thy Womb" by Brillante Mendoza.
