THE IMMINENT IMMANENT (Baga’t Diri Tuhay Ta’t Pamahungpahung), Directed by Carlo Francisco Manatad; starring Sylvia Sanchez Angeli Bayani Arjo Atayde Chai Fonacier.
As a typhoon bears down on a sleepy rural town in the Philippines, strange events and even stranger behaviour foreshadow the watery catastrophe to come, in Carlo Francisco Manatad’s wildly audacious yet deeply personal film.

JUDGEMENT, Directed by Raymund Ribay Gutierrez; starring Max Eigenman and Kristofer King
A woman presses charges against her abusive partner after a horrific assault. But her courageous act hardly means the end of her troubles in Raymund Ribay Gutierrez’s visceral follow-up to Imago.
