Celebrating a night of Filipino cinema at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)! 🎬✨

The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) and the Philippine Consulate General in Toronto hosted a Philippine Delegate Dinner to honor the talented Filipino filmmakers and delegates representing the country at TIFF this year. It was an incredible evening celebrating the passion, artistry, and global reach of Philippine cinema.

A special spotlight goes out to director Lawrence Fajardo and the team behind Silenced Nights (Gabi ng Lagim), starring Lotlot de Leon and Ina Feleo. Driven by powerful performances and a compelling exploration of suspense and drama, the film highlights the depth of Filipino talent and brings distinct national narratives to an international audience on the world stage.

Thank you to FDCP, the Philippine Consulate General in Toronto, and all the filmmakers who continue to champion Filipino film worldwide. 🇵🇭🎥

Hey Vancouver, let’s talk about that moment of representation in cinema. 🌟

We often search for stories that resonate with us, and here is a powerful one.

Meet FILIPIÑANA, the award-winning film that has captivated audiences at Sundance and Berlinale. From acclaimed director Rafael Manuel, it’s a visually stunning and socially resonant exploration of life in the modern Philippines, seen through the unique lens of a golf course and its caddies. It’s not just a movie; it’s a standard of excellence.

For those of us who carry our heritage proudly, this is a chance to see a contemporary Filipino narrative masterfully told on a global stage. This is our cinema, recognized and celebrated.

FILIPIÑANA is having its exclusive theatrical run at the iconic VIFF Centre in Vancouver. Don’t miss this opportunity to support brilliant Filipino art and a powerful cinematic voice.
DATES: September 5 – 13
VENUE: VIFF Centre (1181 Seymour St.)
TICKETS: Grab them at the link in our bio.

Tag your film-loving friends and let’s make these screenings a true community moment. If you’ve been waiting for this one, drop a 🇵🇭 below!

That’s a wrap on our run at TIFF Lightbox! 🏌️‍♀️✨

A massive thank you to everyone in Toronto who came out to support Rafael Manuel’s FILIPIÑANA. The sold-out crowds, incredible energy, and post-screening conversations made this opening run unforgettable. 

We are beyond honored to announce that FILIPIÑANA has officially been shortlisted by the Film Academy of the Philippines for consideration as the country’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the upcoming Academy Awards! 🇵🇭🏆

Thank you, Toronto, for kicking off this next chapter with such warmth. Follow along as the theatrical tour continues across North America!
