Yay! Filipino Films at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival (2023 Jan 19-29)!

Filipino Films participating in the 2023 Sundance Film Festival in Utah from January 19-29, 2023. Better still, fly to Sundance in Utah.

After the long isolation from the pandemic, the 2023 Sundance Film Festival finally returns to in-person screenings. Not to miss are the films from the Philippines, “In My Mother’s Skin” and “It’s Raining Frogs Outside.” One Filipino American short film will also be screened, “When you Left Me on That Boulevard.”

Here’s what to know about the film festival:

  1.  Filipino feature film "In My Mother’s Skin" will be shown during the Midnight Section, and will be screened only in person. Set in World War II, the film follows the tale of a daughter risking everything, even placing her fate in the hands of a flesh-eating fairy, just to save her mother.

  2. Single film tickets for in-person screenings will go on sale beginning 12 January 2023 at https://festival.sundance.org/tickets/. For information on the screening dates of “In My Mother’s Skin,” visit the Sundance website: https://festival.sundance.org/program/film/638a1721d406b217c7f2c996

  3. Filipino short film “It’s Raining Frogs Outside” (“Ampangabagat Nin Talakba Ha Likol”) will precede the in-person screenings of the American feature film "Last Things". This Sambal short film marks the very first participation of a Filipino woman director, and of a film from Zambales, in the film festival’s short films program.
