Thirteen bold films. Thirteen fearless storytellers.

From a prom night turned protest (Prom Q***r), to a haunting game that mirrors real danger (Tumbang Press[o]), to intimate tales of grief, faith, and awakening (Last Night Na Ni Bading, Ang Halikan sa Water Fountain), these films redefine what it means to create cinema with conscience.
πΏ Special mention: Ode to Lavender by Rey Anthony Villaverde, a filmmaker from Silliman University, whose lyrical work transforms q***r longing into poetry and silence into song.
These films β spanning themes of resistance, identity, history, and love β remind us why cinema remains the most human form of protest and connection.
Join us on October 17, 7:30 PM at beetzee, as we celebrate the next generation of filmmakers who are shaping the future of Philippine cinema.

We started working in our film WALANG KASARIAN ANG DIGMANG BAYAN (The Revolution Knows no Gender) in 2019. Our first shooting day was on 30 June 2020 in Marikina City during the LGBTQIA+ Pride March. Our rag tag group was composed of Oliver Aquino, Hubert Tibi, Manual Garcellano, Jay Altarejos, Arnold Reyes. We covered the event and shot some scenes.
Then, we grew into a full production when the script had its shape already while at the Ricky Lee Film Script Writing Workshop. Other collaborators came in. And a lot of things happen.
We are finishing our film and at the same time still in production with NOMs (Nocturnals of Manila). NOMs mirrors the dystopian Philippines as it is today- before, during the lockdown of Metro Manila because of CoViD-19.
We are screenings our films, having live online discussions on immediate social and political issues, we empower others in anyway we can.
We dream and strive for a better Philippines where equality, social justice, and national democracy prevail.
