The Asian Film Festival Barcelona | AFFBCN 2025, the Asian auteur cinema festival organized by Casa Asia, lands at CASA SEAT to showcase the cultural richness and diversity of Asian and Pacific cinemas.

From November 5 to 8, the CASA SEAT auditorium will screen a selection of 8 auteur films, offering a unique opportunity to discover new stories and innovative ways of telling them.

The film featured in this session is Salum (Philippines, 2025) by filmmaker TM Malones. In this story, a father and daughter—both exceptional divers—discover a strange mollusk that could contain a pearl worth millions. This great opportunity prompts them to question tradition, survival, and environmental responsibility. As their community struggles to balance modern development with ancestral rights, their relationship serves as the emotional core of a film that explores the costs and rewards of environmental co-responsibility.
