**Filipiñana** opens in Cincinnati on September 4 and runs through September 10 at the Mariemont Theatre.

Winner of the Sundance World Cinema Jury Award for Creative Vision, the film follows Isabel, a 17-year-old from the rural north of the Philippines, who works at a posh country club outside Manila. But something is rotting beneath the pristine fairways of the elite resort, as Isabel discovers when she tries to return a mislaid golf club to its patriarchal director, Dr. Palanca.
