We are incredibly proud to unveil the 20 official entries for the 1st PEACE Short Film Festival of DepEd Negros Island Region.

From gripping dramas to heartwarming narratives, these entries are more than just films—these are vibrant evidences of the talent, artistry, and passion of our young filmmakers.

The heart of this festival lies in our core mission: PEACE (Powering Empathy, Acceptance, and Connection, Every Day). These 20 films serve as a powerful medium to Power Empathy, Foster Acceptance, and Build Connection.

Through the lens of these student-directors, writers, and actors, we are invited to look closer at the world around us and find ways to choose kindness and peace, every single day.

Stay tuned as we celebrate the power of the arts to transform hearts and minds.
