Archipelagic Movements — IFVF 2026

Voices outside the supposed national capital continue to tell stories often sidelined by the mainstream. Through an animation program, select works by talented animators from the regions are shown in conversation with the early animated shorts of the 1986 Independent Film and Video Festival — part of the 40th-anniversary Archipelagic Movements program. Regional cinema is truly an alternative cinema in every sense. 🎬 2:30 PM — CLEANERS (2019) by Glenn Barit, 78 mins. 🎬 5:00 PM — Short films + talkback moderated by Ricky Orellana: THE EYE IN THE SKY (1984) by Joey Agbayani (9 mins) · ABCD (1985) by Roxlee (5 mins) · BULADOR DE CASA (Indoor Kite) (2012) by Victor Ian Covarrubias (6 mins) · ANG LALONG NI KULAKOG (Kulakog's Rooster) (2013) by Omar P.
