ALT-R HEROES 2026 — POSTPONEMENT

The ALT-R HEROES 2026 Film Festival and Laboratory, originally scheduled on May 26–30 in Naga City, will be postponed.

This decision was made by 2076 Kolektib and co-presenter DALAN Theatre and Events Collaborative in consideration of the ongoing global crisis.

In keeping with our commitment to respond to the socio-political conditions that shape our work, the festival will be moved to the third quarter of 2026 to allow for recalibration.

We thank all filmmakers who submitted entries and expressed interest.

More updates soon.

ALT-R HEROES featured in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

“Cinema as Position asks us to think about how our choices as filmmakers—how we frame, edit, and construct images—carry meaning.”

Thank you to Gigi Valderrama and the Philippine Daily Inquirer for highlighting the ideas behind ALT-R HEROES and the filmmakers shaping this year’s program.

ALT-R HEROES 2026
NAGA FILM LABORATORY

Applications are now open for the ALT-R HEROES Naga Film Laboratory, a five-day working lab for filmmakers, artists, and storytellers.

Guided by the philosophy of Cinema of Social Consciousness, the program encourages participants to observe the world around them and transform lived realities into cinema.

During the lab, participants will develop and produce a 5–10 minute short film, moving through the key stages of filmmaking:
• cinema, media, and cultural context
• writing
• visual design
• directing and production
• sound
• editing
• exhibition

The program culminates in the ALT-R HEROES Film Lab Showcase, where the completed films premiere during the festival.

What is ALT-R HEROES?

A space for new filmmakers.
A platform for emerging voices.
A growing community of cinema that stands for something.

Swipe → to see the filmmakers and winning works from the first five years of ALT-R HEROES.

Founded by filmmaker Joselito Altarejos, ALT-R HEROES brings together screenings, filmmaker dialogues, and practical workshops designed to support films with a clear authorial voice and social consciousness.

Over the past five years, the program has connected filmmakers from across the Philippines and beyond — creating opportunities for new works to be seen, discussed, and celebrated.

From alumni filmmakers to award-winning works, ALT-R HEROES continues to grow as a platform for what we call Cinema as Position — films that express their politics through form, perspective, and storytelling.

The next chapter continues.

ALT-R HEROES 2026
CINEMA AS POSITION
Sa Banwaan kan mga Oragon

📍 Naga City, Camarines Sur
📅 May 26–30, 2026

ALT-R HEROES returns to Naga City, gathering filmmakers, artists, and storytellers around a simple but urgent question:
Where do we stand?
And how does a film stand?

Not only in what it says—
but in how it is made.

Through image.
Through rhythm.
Through silence.
Through form.

This year’s edition, CINEMA AS POSITION, focuses on the idea that every film carries a perspective—revealed through the choices a filmmaker makes.
