Waiting for Sunset 2018
WEEKLY PICK #9 by Pam, PRO
'Kung Paano Hinihintay ang Dapithapon' is a beautifully poignant film that lingers in the heart long after the credits roll. What struck me most was the authentic portrayal of everyday struggles, interlaced with moments of quiet reflection. It’s a film that invites you to pause and reflect on your own life, reminding us that the waiting—much like the twilight hours—can be both beautiful and bittersweet. If you appreciate a story that resonates on a personal level, this one is definitely worth watching.

Cleaners 2019
WEEKLY PICK #1 by Dani, President
Coming-of-age films have a special place in my heart. I’ve always been interested in the concept of growing up and discovering oneself, especially being portrayed in film. It feels like I’m looking at montages of my awkward high school memories in the mirror.
I love how ‘Cleaners’ uniquely captures the nostalgia and complexities of Filipino high school life through its innovative use of photocopied frames and vibrant storytelling. To me, it is a refreshing take on the coming-of-age genre that shows us the distinct charm of Philippine cinema.
