Eduardo Roy Jr.’s “Pamilya Ordinaryo” is competing against 11 other entries in the feature film tilt.

Meanwhile, Mikee de la Cruz’s “Sibol” is vying for the top award, along with 29 other works, in the short film competition.

Two Filipino films are included in the World Panorama section: Lawrence Fajardo’s “Imbisibol” and King Palisoc’s “Tandem.” Lastly, Lemuel Lorca’s “Water Lemon” is part of the Selection of Asean Cinema program. —BAYANI SAN DIEGO JR.
