Fifteen independent Filipino films take center stage at the first Filipino Film Festival (FIFF) in the Netherlands.

Held in June and July, the festival aims to introduce the culture, talent, and art of Filipino filmmakers in Europe.

“The challenge is to bring something unique to the table. As Filipinos, we like to blend in and conform. How can we be original and stand out in the international scene? That’s a question I want our young Filipino filmmakers to answer,” Curilan says. “When it was announced, the team was really happy . We were glad that the message of family and sacrifice can resonate abroad,” Razo says.

34-year-old director Rhadem Musawah, an independent documentary filmmaker and human rights activists, describes the "Tulipa" as a “protest” to give awareness, empowerment and visibility to the Filipino LGBT sector living abroad. Meanwhile, Chris Sta. Brigida, chair of Filipino LGBT Europe, says that they want to show that "living a dignified life is possible, and that we can have a sustainable and harmonious society in which LGBT rights and welfare are protected."
