angels in flight

[Jun Robles Lana @junrobleslana]

For decades, the MMFF was the "people's festival." It was the one time of year when ordinary workers took their children to the mall to see their idols. But today, a family of four would need at least ₱1,500 just to enter the theater, not including transportation or even a single bag of popcorn.
By pricing the ordinary Filipino out of the theater, the industry hasn't just lost customers, it has lost its soul. Cinema has shifted from a shared national culture to a middle-class privilege.
You cannot promote a "National" Film Festival while maintaining prices that exclude the nation. Until we admit that cinema has become a luxury that the "₱500 Noche Buena" family cannot afford, we are simply watching the slow, expensive sunset of Philippine cinema.

In the cramped heat of a thrift shop in Cubao, the air is thick with the unspoken desires of Jessa and Candy. But when a foreigner arrives with the promise of America, their lives are led astray.

Lest we forget -- the call to boycott this pro-Israeli Bookfair is endorsed by the Palestinian-led BDS movement. The difficulty that many Filipino writers grappled with regarding the boycott call is already a test of principle, and we should ask -- for what?

crazy how this genre of experimental shorts can feel so political with no footage at all. just old documents, doodles, memories written on random pieces of paper.

proof that even the smallest papers we keep can speak against forgetting. 📎

Recollecting my personal experiences as a student activist and my two cents sa nangyari kahapon:

#BahaSaLuneta

[Danilo Arao @dannyarao]

FRAMING THE VIOLENCE: Tonight we more or less have an idea of what transpired at Ayala Bridge, Mendiola, Recto cor Avenida and other nearby areas. Using words like "rioters" is misplaced. Underreporting the human rights violations perpetrated by the police is unacceptable.

[The Manila Collegian @mkule]

‘ANG MAMATAY NANG DAHIL SAYO’

WATCH: Thousands of Filipinos gathered at Luneta Park to commemorate the 53rd year since the declaration of Martial Law, demand accountability, and call for an end to corruption.

Ava Leong was a trans woman from Penang. She & her transgender community were vibrant performers in the 1950s to 1960s: always donning beautiful kebayas & sarongs.

Trans people have always existed in Malaysia.
