FEATURED FILM: 

ILI-ILI /LITTLE ONE 

2023, Philippines / DIR. CLISTER SANTOS

A heartfelt animation about a Filipino same-sex couple whose pregnant daughter wants to learn more about her dads’ journey becoming her parents. The interview takes a fateful turn, but it also becomes the catalyst of memories of a childhood full of precious memories and loving care. Evocative of home movies, the visuals were inspired by Filipino painter Fernando Amorsolo and  Ili-Ili from the title comes from a Filipino-Ilongo language lullaby called "Ili ili tulog anay" - go to sleep little one.
