share| Short films have always been at the heart of SDFFF, bringing filmmakers and audiences together. For our first anniversary in 2022, we celebrated short cinema by opening with five remarkable Filipino shorts. This year, we’re thrilled to continue the tradition with a new lineup of exceptional shorts to kick off the festival. |
