On show:
* Brooklyn 2 Alaska by Devon Smith Jr.
A lifetime Brooklyn to Alaska alumnus returns to document the Alaskan expedition that once transformed his own life, turning his camera on a new generation of young Black men who have risen from participants to certified river guides.
—
* As Rehearsed by Andrew Ye
A movement film about the silent contract of performance. It's the weight of showing up, moving as expected, being seen without being known.
—
* Ang Huling Piraso by Coco Tolentino
A prelude to Dyahe Piece, this was the proof-of concept micro short film shot a year before Dyahe Piece was made.
—
* The Creative Reset I Didn’t Know I Needed by Sarah Teng
Back in August 2025, Sarah Teng flew to the Philippines as the set photographer for Dyahe Piece. It wasn’t her film, and it wasn’t her story, but it actually became one of the most fulfilling projects and trips she has done in a while.
—
* Baby Fat by Margarita Mina
When a stocky Filipino-American tween spills ketchup on a traditional heirloom dress, she must accompany her mother to the laundromat where her attempts to restore it only make her feel more displaced in her own skin.
—
* Dyahe Piece by Coco Tolentino
A mother and son's generational clash over the American Dream and fulfillment at home boils over at a Filipino family dinner, erupting in a battle for the last lumpia, the dreaded dyahe piece.

* Dyahe Piece BTS
