In a world where diverse narratives, particularly those of Filipino origin, are often overlooked, FilAm Creative leadership dreamed of creating a space for telling untold stories and amplifying underrepresented creative voices.

The next FilAm Creative Film Festival will be Oct 2-4, 2026 (with a filmmaker only event on Oct 1 and Awards Event on Oct 4).

The deadlines, submission fees, and the terms and conditions are on

Submit

Projects must meet at least one (1) of the following criteria:

  • A director of Filipino heritage

  • A writer of Filipino heritage

  • A producer of Filipino heritage

  • A cast of predominantly Filipino heritage

  • A Story that centers on the lives of people of Filipino heritage

We do NOT require all five.

We do not require that everyone be Filipino/Fil-Am. We welcome diversity and inclusion.

Filipino Heritage means Filipino diaspora (Filipinos in the Philippines, Filipino-American, Filipino-Canadian, Filipino-British, etc)
