The Winner of the Special Jury Award for Creative Vision, Sundance Film Festival 2026, Filipiñana is a beautifully shot drama featuring a quietly powerful performance by its lead, Jorrybell Agoto. Isabel feels strangely drawn to Dr. Palanca, the president of the country club where she works. However, after piecing together a violent picture of what lies beneath the club’s pristine surface, she realizes that what began as an innocent infatuation is actually rooted in a sinister shared history. “A masterwork. [Director] Rafael Manuel opens new vistas in the future of cinema.” – Richard Brody, The New Yorker
