Viddsee Juree Awards is an annual industry pick award to celebrate and support filmmakers and film communities in Asia.
We’ve been running it since 2017 in Manila, Jakarta and Singapore.
Join us for a weekend of all things film and storytelling, and meet the talented cast and crew in this year’s Juree PH 2019!
Two top short film entries from the Philippines will be named Gold and Silver Prize winners, to be picked by an international panel of judges that comprises the Artistic Director for the Hawaii International Film Festival (HIFF), Anderson Le; established Filipino producer and film director Baby Ruth Villarama; and Lucky Kuswandi, one of Indonesia’s most exciting young directors.
See you Sept 27-29, Pineapple Lab, Brgy. Poblacion, Makati!
