Salidumay is officially selected for the 11th International Film Festival Manhattan in New York City to be held on October 14-17, 2021.


Salidumay is a short film highlighting Cordilleran culture of courtship and Marriage.


It features “Ayo” (Mai Fanglayan), a Tingguian from Abra with mixed Ibaloi blood who goes on her first date with “Franz” (Kenneth Jhayve Bautista), a former seminarian who grew up in Abra but moved to Baguio City.


The differences between Ayo and Franz lead to a clash of expectations and perspectives, but amid the tension lies a glimmer of hope for the would-be couple.


This short film was directed by Abrenian Filmmaker and Actor Dexter Macaraeg, which is his 7th Film selection already in the international arena.
