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.
You Can Never Kill the Revolution: A Film Program
The legacy of Andres Bonifacio, one of Philippine history’s eminent revolutionary leaders, continues to inspire the masses to struggle for freedom. The virtual film program ‘You Can Never Kill The Revolution’ examines the diverse narratives of the revolutionary spirit, ranging from personal conflicts to collective experiences. The Bonifacios of today are seen in the streets protesting, in the mountains taking arms, and those who are fighting for a better country in their own personal and political means.
Batang Bata Ka Lang: A Film Program
Difficult questions have to be asked if children are truly ready to face the world around them, and growing up is a critical development period for them. But what happens when they are forced to grow too fast?
The virtual film program It’s A Small World Afterall aims to dissect the perspectives of children as they navigate real-world problems as well as their own attempts to understand them. Together, these short films aim to show the different narratives of how children, in their own ways of understanding, navigate their readiness to reality and the need for the space that allows them to develop before taking on the world.
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.
