Sinepiyu XV: Liwayway
Liwayway is the sunrise after a long night. Just like many films that flourish through dark times, Sinepiyu XV aims to bring light to the darkest corners of the world. Through a diverse set of films of different lenses, consciousness on personal and societal issues becomes attainable and within reach for audiences and filmmakers alike.
