Logline: In a mist-shrouded mountain range, two young recordists search fragments of memory buried in static, silence, and soil. As they gather stories erased by conflict, an intimate resistance takes shape: quiet, tender, and defiant in the face of forgetting.

Synopsis: Set in the stillness of a remote mountainscape marked by loss, and forced abandonment, Hindi Nawawala sa Pagkawala ang Alaala follows Benjie and Will, two recordists who gather fragments left behind — not just remnants of the past, but testimonies of people long unheard. As they move deeper into the landscape, the recorder captures traces of the disappeared — voices of workers, students, and communities erased by conflict. At its heart, the film asks: What do we owe to the stories we inherit, and the ones we lose? Listening becomes political. Remembering becomes justice. And the persistence of memory resists silence.
