ABOUT THE COMPETITION

SYNOPSIS

This year’s FRAMES short film competition is focused on discovering and supporting young filmmakers from the Philippines who are deeply committed to human rights. By offering a platform for their films to be displayed at diverse locations nationwide—such as microcinemas, schools, and barangays—the competition aims to promote human rights in alternative forms of cinema and give these emerging voices a significant role in advancing the human rights conversation.
