A Day to Remember: ALT-R HEROES 2025 Has Officially Launched!
Presented by Gagaoolala - Find YourStory
What a launch it was.
We opened ALT-R HEROES 2025 with a rousing speech from our festival director, Jay Altarejos, reminding us that From LGBT Rights to Human Rights is not just a theme—it is a call to action. The room was full: friends, families, cinephiles, and curious minds packed Sine Pop to celebrate a new wave of socially conscious cinema.
We were honored to meet three of our jury members in person—Lisa Ito-Tapang, Siege Ledesma, and Marinel Cruz—and later in the evening, welcomed Kyla Romero, who was presented her trophy for her win at last year’s ALT-R HEROES.
The screening of our short film competition finalists was met with love and curiosity. The filmmakers in attendance—Pia Duran, Khert Gabayeron, Clyde Gamale, and Justine Polanco—shared their processes and reflections in deeply moving conversations after each batch.
Later, Guardia de Honor drew an intergenerational crowd—friends, families, and members of the industry. After the screening, Laurice Guillen and Jay Altarejos were formally presented their Best Actress and Best Director trophies from the Ahmedabad International Film Festival in Gujarat, India.
We capped the night with the special preview of Sa Panahong Walang Katiyakan. An intimate screening that felt like a quiet revolution. Manuel Garcellano spoke of interpreting the pandemic through image. Paulo Estero walked us through the sonic landscape he created. And Marco Bertillo Mata left us with a timely reminder: Filmmakers must keep creating—especially in uncertain times.
As we look forward to the next legs of the festival in Camarines Sur with Shotlist Coffee and Negros Oriental with Beetzee Productions, we carry this momentum with pride and gratitude.
Presented by GagaOOLala, we thank our amazing partners and supporters:
Sine Pop, Full Post Asia, Camaya Sunset Villa, Ticao Altamar Boutique Resort, Artist Concept Production Company (Rico Ancheta), Ellió Scent Lab, iWantickets, and ADCC Productions.
To our audience, jury, partners, and every soul who showed up yesterday—maraming salamat.
We’ll see you on the road.
Padayon. ✊🏽

🌈 Salamat, ABS-CBN News, for covering the launch of ALT-R HEROES 2025!
“All the rights that we are fighting for within the community belong to a bigger umbrella of rights—and that is human rights. So dapat makita natin 'yung intersectionality,” said Jay Altarejos, filmmaker and festival director of ALT-R HEROES.
From LGBT rights to human rights, this year’s festival centers cinema as protest, poetry, and power—spotlighting stories that challenge silence and celebrate resistance.

We started working in our film WALANG KASARIAN ANG DIGMANG BAYAN (The Revolution Knows no Gender) in 2019. Our first shooting day was on 30 June 2020 in Marikina City during the LGBTQIA+ Pride March. Our rag tag group was composed of Oliver Aquino, Hubert Tibi, Manual Garcellano, Jay Altarejos, Arnold Reyes. We covered the event and shot some scenes.
Then, we grew into a full production when the script had its shape already while at the Ricky Lee Film Script Writing Workshop. Other collaborators came in. And a lot of things happen.
We are finishing our film and at the same time still in production with NOMs (Nocturnals of Manila). NOMs mirrors the dystopian Philippines as it is today- before, during the lockdown of Metro Manila because of CoViD-19.
We are screenings our films, having live online discussions on immediate social and political issues, we empower others in anyway we can.
We dream and strive for a better Philippines where equality, social justice, and national democracy prevail.
