A Message from the DGPI Board of Directors

We are a country with a sad history of impunity and abuse of power.

But we are also a nation of artists, poets, provocateurs and storyteller; it is a cultural gift shared across the world.

Part of the filmmaker’s role is to raise a mirror to society — be it in the form of entertainment or visual poetry. The mirror of cinema is a critical reflection of our society’s triumphs and ills.

As we celebrate Philippine Independence Day, let us be reminded of our role in society as storytellers:

We must continue to tell our truths.

A pandemic rages.
Free expression is struggling.
Terror is ushered in.

Yet like all good stories, heroes only win when they actually fight.

BE A HERO, DEAR FILMMAKER.
