VC Tuguegarao City

Tuguegarao City is a vibrant center where various cultural and ethno-linguistic groups converge in Northern Philippines. The city’s rich history and diverse narratives are reflected in its people and surroundings, enduring over time and manifesting in art, cuisine, and numerous creative expressions.

The Video Consortium Tuguegarao City serves as a dynamic hub, fostering a thriving ecosystem of journalists, documentary filmmakers, independent artists, dedicated cultural advocates, and proactive change-makers. Committed to amplifying ‘Stories that Matter’, this initiative employs the powerful medium of film through curated screenings, comprehensive workshops, and engaging community gatherings. We welcome people from different backgrounds- from filmmakers, cineaste, journalists, concerned citizens and collaborators from all over the world. We aim to be a go-to resource and support not only for Tuguegarao but for the Filipino visual storytelling community.

Let’s collaborate on both non-fiction film projects and events. Your ideas are welcome! To connect, discuss involvement, or simply say hello, please reach out to our Local Team Organizers.

A word from your Organizers!

JEROME: You can find familiarity in this unfamiliar part of the world where we can connect through visual storytelling and mere conversations. This hub fosters ideas that could amplify the stories unheard but also nurture the skills to help you come across your message.

SEF: A story is a powerful tool to change someone’s perspective in life. Using this tool negatively can impact the future generations, and this is what we are experiencing right now, maybe not just here in the Philippines but a global phenomenon, a plethora of misinformation aimed to manipulate people’s stands on certain issues. Let this hub be one way to worship and put importance that truth matters.

ERWIN: Welcome to Tuguegarao! The HOTTEST city in the Philippines literally and figuratively. We at Tuguegarao Hub hope to create stories that matter as we put people’s ideals front and center of our stories.
