"Papuri", the Tiples de Sto Domingo Concert musical documentary

Best Documentary Short Film at the International Film Festival, Manhattan, New York on 29 May 2021
It's a documentary film about the Tiples de Santo Domingo, the oldest existing boys choir in the Philippines. It was established more than 300 years ago, by the early Spanish Dominican missionaries in the Philippines. It depicts the different entities on the human and spiritual formation of these boys who serve in the Church through singing. The documentary film highlights the concert of the Tiples together with the University of Santo Tomas orchestra and other notable Filipino singers and pianist. It gives hope to the people specially during this time of pandemic where boys choir is considered as non-essential. There's still a reason to appreciate music through children's choir...
