The Cinema One and Star Awards Best Digital/Indie Film of 2008, Confessional, bagged the Best Film plum in the First Features section of the recently concluded 10th Osian's Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema Saturday held in New Delhi, India.

“Confessional” is a locally awarded indie movie by Jerrold Tarog and Ruel Antipuesto.

The film is about a small time filmmaker who captures confessions of an erring politician with his rolling camera while documenting the Sinulog festival in Cebu.
