- In 1536, Captain Alcaraza of New Spain met a naked Spaniard who identified himself as Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. He had been missing for 7 years and was presumed dead, but according to La Relacion, his own written account of events first published in Spain in 1542, something else entirely had occurred. Scholars agree that he had survived the shipwreck of the 1527 Narvaez Expedition, washing up near what today is Galveston, Texas and had spent 7 years living with the Capoque and Chorruco branches of the Karankawa tribe before traveling all the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. Because he survived and wrote a lot, and because he saw himself as an ally of Native Americans, Cabeza de Vaca entered the annals of colonial history as A Savior among Savages: A great explorer who led and taught the natives. But what if that's not how the story really went? This 49 minute documentary examines Cabeza de Vaca's time with indigenous North American peoples through the lens of gender.

- Nature's Presences deals with traditional indigenous music among the Manobo Dulangan, T'boli, Obo, and the Tagakaolo in Southern Mindanao. Shot in the picturesque Lake Sebu, the heartland of the indigenous peoples from this region, the documentary shows that traditional music remains practised despite the rapidly accelerating and deep Visayanization of places where the T'boli have been the first to settle in prehistory. Songs learnt from the ancestors are still acquired through imitation and these have been put to a number of pragmatic uses, from managing negative emotions (thus aesthetically transforming raw sentiments like anger to the level of art) to the tasks of putting a baby to sleep and of indulging one's self in leisurely music-making after work. Some songs are the basis of instrumental music like that rendered on bamboo polychordal zither togo, while others, especially those played in whistle flute sloli, disclose human attachments to nature and with Others. Aside from songs, these people have rhythms that propel dancers who move as a mimesis of myths from the distant past, notably that of T'boli madal tahu which is about the creation of the world and of the symbolic passage of death to life or fertility among the Tagakaolo. These "rhythms" are also simulated via delicate and undulating melodic contours on what is now an endangered music instrument of the Philippines, the lip-valley flute. Quintessentially archaic, this music depicts the sounds of small creatures in the natural environment- the bird, the snail, the squirrel, and the cicadas of this relatively wooded area. Nature's Presences is the first volume of the series "Resilient Music at the Margins" funded by the National Research Council of the Philippines, in cooperation with the University of the Philippines College of Music, in 2016-2017.
