Hilda Koronel's upcoming film "Sisa" will have its world premiere at the 29th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (POFF) in Estonia this November.
Directed by Jun Robles Lana, the historical thriller "Sisa" features Koronel in the titular role, marking her acting comeback.
The film, which follows a woman feigning madness to conceal her identity as a spy during the Philippine-American War, will compete in the Official Competition at POFF.
POFF film programmer Milani Perera described "Sisa" as both a historical thriller and an urgent elegy, highlighting Lana's signature emotional precision and Koronel's performance.
"Sisa" is set to premiere on November 20, with both Lana and Koronel expected to attend the premiere and awards ceremony.
Lana confirmed on X that "Sisa," along with "Call Me Mother," serves as an ode to motherhood and a portrayal of courage.
