Haunting Queer Temporalities: A Film Program
The virtual film program ‘Haunting Queer Temporalities’ aims to explore the different forms of imagination on haunting and resistance in queer lived experiences across time. Curated from the archives of Cinemata, a mix of mainly Philippine and South Asian short films serves as an imagination of society, of how the ghostly traumas of the past have shaped contemporary understandings of self and its ways of resisting the concurrent normative ideas of society.
Home as an Authoritarian Machine: A Film Program
Narratives of betrayal and trauma are common among children, which forces them to confront the harrowing aftermath of it, shaping the next discourse of their lives. Not allowing children the space to heal their scars and find justice will make them feel more powerless—as an authoritarian would expect.
The virtual film program ‘Home as an Authoritarian Machine’ aims to shed light on various narratives of control over children and how the impact of violence towards children is also a cycle of violence perpetuated by a systemic problem that needs radical change.
This Land is Mined: A Film Program
Indigenous People (IP) communities have long found themselves at the epicenter of development aggression and armed conflict. This virtual program aims to shed light on the ongoing displacement of IP communities and their identities.
