From the natural beauty of an invigorating haven to the refreshing escape that provides wellness for the body, mind and soul… no other place can have an impact that makes one to be better, healed and more alive; simple, yet essential… just like breathing.

The festival will have three (3) sections namely films-in-competition, non-competing screenings of notable films by award winning and acknowledged Filipino filmmakers, and international films. Screenings will be done through online platforms and cinema set-up as well, following strict health and sanitary practices. Aside from the competition and film screenings, dialogues, interactive discussions and workshops will be conducted online. The festival shall serve as a medium and a tool of social expression providing a platform for filmmakers to present their work and discuss relevant topics like environment, health, peace, freedom, art, culture, heritage, political and social issues, contemporary living, among many others. Hence the film festival aims to encourage creativity, inspire and create dialogue between and among people while crossing the borders and limits of traditional communication methods. This pilot event shall strictly conform to all safety and health protocols and will explore alternative methods of screening to avoid health risks.
