Fathers of Circumstances: A Father's Day Weekend Film Program at Shangri-La Plaza What makes a father? Is it blood, presence, choice—or circumstance?

This June, Fathers of Circumstances brings together five deeply moving films from Japan and the Philippines that challenge conventional ideas of fatherhood. The screenings will take place on June 14–15, 2025 at Red Carpet Cinemas, Shangri-La Plaza, curated by Eunice Helera, a film programmer and festival coordinator. The program is part of the Professional Development and Networking Initiative for ASEAN-Japan Film Programmers and Curators, organized by the Japan Foundation in partnership with the Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF). 

The lineup features Like Father, Like Son (2013) by Hirokazu Kore-eda, Dear Etranger (2017) by Yukiko Mishima, Close-Knit (2017) by Naoko Ogigami, Kinakausap ni Celso ang Diyos (2024) by Gilb Baldoza, and Ang Tatay Kong Nanay (1978) by Lino Brocka. 

These films span across class, gender, and kinship—offering a spectrum of what it means to care, provide, and stay. Kore-eda’s exploration of fatherhood from both affluent and working-class perspectives finds resonance in Baldoza’s Filipino fathers, who may lack money but never intention. In Mishima’s Dear Etranger, the longing to be accepted as a stepfather is quiet and piercing. In Close-Knit and Ang Tatay Kong Nanay, it is a transgender woman and a gay man who step into the role of parent—not through biology, but through pure will and love.

“I want that thrill. To deliver that level of immersion and excitement.” The mythical world of Vikings and dragons comes to life in the new “How to Train Your Dragon” featurette

In PH cinemas June 11

For How to Train Your Dragon book series author Cressida Cowell, seeing the animated world based on her best-selling novels transform into live-action was nothing short of magical. Walking through the village of Berk or into the blacksmith’s forge was like stepping into a dream,” Cowell says. “The attention to detail—the wear on the tools, the weathered wood of the buildings—made everything feel alive. It was extraordinary.”

QCinema introduces the 2025 batch of QCShorts filmmakers

With a larger production grant and record-breaking 285 submissions from Filipino filmmakers around the globe, the QCinema International Film Festival presents the six new projects selected for the 2025 QCShorts program.

“The voices behind this year’s QCShorts program are composed mostly of new filmmaking talent—as over a half the roster of directors and producers are still undergraduate students at various universities,” says Jason Tan Liwag, head of short film programming at QCinema. “It’s exciting because there’s clearly a new generation of filmmakers, most of whom were born in the 2000s and have only had a limited number of shorts under their belt, who are seeking support. We’re happy to help and introduce them to the Filipino and international community.”

The filmmakers and their projects are: Norvin de los Santos (“Hoy, Hoy, Ingat!”), Lauviah Caliboso (“Ours Was A Timeless Night Burning”), Racquel “Lysa” Catolico and Jazmine Gin Pateña (“RUNO!”), Dale (“Si Tina: Ang Babaye Nga Nag Daba-Daba”), Gabriela Serrano and Mariana Serrano (“Surface Tension”), and Gab Rosique (“Yelo”).
