“Across 54 works in animation, documentary, experimental, and narrative film, we encountered a cinema shaped by intimate and systemic forces. What emerged most strongly was a cinema of tenderness under pressure—one that reminds us that even in a fractured and uncertain world, what is fragile still deserves to be saved.” — Jury Statement

Thank you to all the filmmakers who shared their stories, perspectives, and reflections with us this year. It has been an honor, and we’re truly grateful to everyone who became part of this year’s Gawad Alternatibo.

May we continue to share our stories, keep the conversations going, and make space for more voices.Until the next Gawad Alternatibo! ✨
