In partnership with the Movement for Good Governance (MGG), YouthLed PH, YouthVote Philippines, and Rappler, Ticket2Me, the country’s leading independent creator monetization platform, pioneers again by launching IKLI: The Philippines’ First Super Short Film Festival.
Inspired by other microfilm festivals around the world, IKLI is an annual, online film festival initially featuring three categories – Micro short (60 seconds or less) films, mini short (between 1:00-2:20) films, and super short (between 2:21-5:00) films with the festival motto, “The simpler, the better!”
For 2022, the theme is “Bitin! We deserve better!” to draw attention, in an entertaining but enlightening way, the many stories that can help convince Filipinos all over the world that we deserve better: better government, better healthcare, better education, better livelihoods, better transportation – even better love lives!
Strategically aligned with the vision of the project and marking the commemoration of the 36th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution, the following chosen entries will be shown on Ticket2Me and Rappler’s Youtube channels this coming February 25, 2022, between 12nn to 3pm:

Truly, it is a promising year for the country’s only fully digital end-to-end ticketing company, Ticket2Me, which serves live and online events made accessible through its easy-to-use technology and which aims to empower creators to provide value, bring people together, and build meaningful relationships.
