MEANTIME NANAYS (3:00 PM Slot)
The 6th PWDigitabilities Movie Festival: Gala Screening of Meantime Nanays (Sandaling Ina)

Description:
When global lockdowns lock families out of isolation wards, who holds the hand of the abandoned child? Who bears the silent weight when the world falls apart? 🩺💔

Witness the NCCA Contest Grant-Winning masterpiece, Meantime Nanays (Sandaling Ina), on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at 3:00 PM at the NCCA Tanghalan (Teatro Locsin), Intramuros, Manila, at the 6th PWDigitabilities Movie Festival.

Meantime Nanays hits with the heavy, exhausted reality of Adom—a discreet gay caregiver who gave everything to protect his best friend in secret, only to lose him to illness and judgment. Emotionally depleted and wanting nothing more than to walk away from a world that condemned his life, Adom is trapped by the pandemic, forced back into the hospital trenches because helping has become an inescapable second nature. Through Adom’s eyes, the film lays bare the raw pain of a discreet man nursing a broken heart in the shadows, haunted by memories of his first love while stepping up as a surrogate father to isolated children. It is an unflinching, profoundly human look at how infectious diseases and social stigma divide us, yet how radical, unselfish compassion ultimately brings us back to life.

🎵 Highlight: Enhanced by moving, intimate live readings of love notes by the CoLove Storytelling Workshoppers, honoring those who love quietly in the dark.

TEEN JOURNEYS (1:30 PM Slot)
The 6th PWDigitabilities Movie Festival: Community Premiere of Teen Journeys

Description:
Have you ever mourned a best friend you secretly loved in silence? And would you surrender today, knowing someone new might love you tomorrow? 🥀✨

Join us for the highly anticipated community premiere of our 2026 flagship youth drama and NCCT Contest Grant Winner, Teen Journeys, on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at 1:30 PM at the NCCA Tanghalan (Teatro Locsin), Intramuros, Manila, during the 6th PWDigitabilities Movie Festival.

Teen Journeys explores the delicate, quiet threshold of growing up through a very subtle, innocent Boys Love of the discreet. It is woven with complete purity, emotional integrity, and wholesome care—making it completely safe and resonant for families and conservative audiences alike. Watch how a discreet young boy navigates adolescence, discovering that the childhood friend he tried so hard to avoid harbors the exact same unspoken, tender affection. It speaks directly to every young soul who has ever carried the heavy stigma of a hidden identity and the agonizing fear of rejection.

🎵 Highlight: The screening will be accompanied by an emotionally stirring live reading of love notes written and performed by the workshoppers of the CoLove Storytelling Workshop, giving voice to unwritten confessions.

Walk-in Rate: PHP 300 per movie

Ang CoLove Storytelling and Scriptwriting Workshop ay isang premium at ligtas na training program para sa mga kuwentista at advocates. Ito ay pormal na suportado ng National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), The LoveLife Project for Health & Environment Inc., YEAHA Channel, PWDigitabilities Channel, at CoLove Channel. Dahil ito ay isang opisyal na pagtutulungan para sa LGBTQ+ at Persons with Disabilities (PWD) communities na nakatutok sa "Urban Rights," ito ang pinaka-nobling cover story at alibi mo para makasali sa isang prestihiyosong sining nang walang nagdududa sa bahay man o sa trabaho.

Madali lang ang mechanics: sa dulo ng pitong araw na blended training (online weeknights at dalawang Sabado na face-to-face), gagawa ka lang ng isang maikling kwento o script. Ang mga mapipiling akda ay ipapakita at ipapublish sa kauna-unahang edisyon ng CoLove Stories Book Anthology. Bukod dito, ang mga pinakamagagandang scripts ay may pagkakataong mai-produce bilang short films na ipapalabas sa PWDigitabilities Film Festival ngayong July 2026 o sa malaking CoLove Fest ngayong December 2026!
