- DirectorMiko ReverezaLiving in the United States illegally for over 20 years, Miko Revereza takes the Amtrak train from Los Angeles to New York in this critical moment of hostility against migrants in the country he has come to know as home. The journey seems daring, perhaps reckless, yet urgent and necessary.
- DirectorJet LeycoStarsChito BalintayMichelle LeycoNikki Rose LeycoA lone stranger broadcasts fragments of life he has experienced from different time and space, hoping to make a connection and communicate with other beings of life. Like a time capsule, this film contains artefacts of the first Filipinos, a family, a political upheaval, and the existence / non-existence of God, in an interactive and very obtrusive form rarely seen in conventional Filipino documentaries.
- DirectorWhammy AlcazarenStarsRicky DavaoMeryll SorianoJasmine Curtis-SmithIt's gonna hurt. An aging spy, his delusional wife, and promiscuous son are driven into madness as they confront the terrors caused by the monster known as The Shadow.
- DirectorGlenn BaritStarsIanna TaguinodLeomar BaloranJulian NaragDifferent students from a high school cleaners group each deal with different pressures of being clean and pure while also discovering that the world is dirty and superficial to begin with.
- DirectorEJ GaguiThe filmmaker and his younger brother filmed a wadi they describe as "windless" for being too quiet. With archives of footage and audio conversations, it recreates a lonely character contemplating to the deep muffled voices of the unseen real people; stillness of rocks to the unmoving conflict. The dialogues within the wordless exposé tackle traumatic memories as they become urgent stories relevant to both the past and the present.

- DirectorTrishtan PerezStarsLouie CaminadeRuss LigtasJC SantiagoA high school teenager secretly spends his time on the internet with a mature man whose face he still hasn't seen yet. It is cited for its keen observation of a generation's ethos expressed through an intimate and contemporary visual language, arranged in an editing style that eschews melodramatic sentimentality focusing on the immediacy of online interaction, and the instant gratification or discontent that can be derived - also a warning of the dangers of the internet and social media as a surrogate to real life bonds.
- DirectorMaria Estela PaisoStarsAlyana CabralThe world is about to end. Maya is forced to go home to the province of Zambales. There, she confronts her childhood house that terrorizes her as frogs rain outside.
