We’re #iACADEMYProud to honor Mr. Keith Sicat, Creative Director of our Vision Creative Unit, as he joins the official Philippine delegation at the prestigious 73rd San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain this September 2025.

Recognized as one of the most prestigious and influential film festivals in the world, the San Sebastian International Film Festival has long been a global stage where cinematic masterpieces are launched, international co-productions are forged, and legendary filmmakers leave their mark. Situated in the heart of Spain’s Basque Country, this A-list festival is known for premiering films that later dominate awards seasons and shape the future of cinema. To be part of this event is to stand head-to-head with the brightest creative minds in the industry.

This year, the Philippines makes history as the first Asian country honored as the Focus Country in the festival’s Focus On Industry Program. Sicat joins nine other powerhouse Filipino producers to showcase the strength of Philippine cinema, pursue international co-productions, and highlight the nation’s unique storytelling voice.

As a visionary filmmaker, mentor, and leader, Sicat brings not only his artistry but also iACADEMY’s “Beyond Better” ethos to the global stage. His inclusion is more than a personal milestone, it’s a proud triumph for the Philippines and a bold statement that Filipino creativity is ready to take its place at the very center of world cinema.

Congratulations, Mr. Keith Sicat, your journey is proof that Filipino stories belong to the world.
