SUMMARY:SineMa 2026 — Local Shorts Block
DESCRIPTION:Experience Daluyong\, a powerful showcase of Filipino Canadian short films exploring identity\, migration\, queerness\, and connection to land and memory. \nDaluyong (swell) flowed through SineMa as an art-house gathering of documentary and narrative shorts by Filipino Canadian filmmakers\, stories shaped by quiet yet powerful undercurrents of queerness\, migration\, land\, and belonging. \nLike water\, identity shifted and surged: resilient\, tender\, and deeply rooted in memory and place. \nAlongside film\, music carried the tide — echoing our histories\, amplifying our voices\, and holding space for reflection and connection. Together\, image and sound moved as one current\, reminding us that our stories do not stand still — they rise\, return\, and resonate. \nProgram1:00 pm – 1:30 pm	Doors Open1:30 pm – 4:00 pm	Local Shorts Block (Canada-focused)4:00 pm – 4:30 pm	Filmmaker Q&A \nSineMa 2026 (short for Sine Mabuhay) is a dynamic celebration of multicultural storytelling through film\, spotlighting the voices of Filipino Canadian filmmakers alongside acclaimed works from the Philippines.
