Oliver

The first installment in Nick DEOCAMPO's 'Ang Lungsod ng Tao ay Nasa Puso' trilogy, Oliver follows a female impersonator who supports his family by performing in Manila's gay bars. Shot in the final year of Marcos's dictatorship and revolutionary times, it is one of the most compelling illustrations of the fluidity of sexuality, as well as of the power of human agency in times of hardship.

Bontoc Eulogy

As a personal story about the Filipino experience at the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904, the film unfolds from the perspective of two characters—a Filipino immigrant in America and an lgorot warrior held captive at the Fair. The film dramatically exposes the seminal contours of ethnic identity and experience in America, providing an innovative investigation of history, memory and the spectacle of the 'other' in turn-of-the-century America.

Why Is Yellow the Middle of the Rainbow?

TAHIMIK's magnum opus is an epic film diary spanning the 1980s, as the filmmaker teamed up with his eldest son to make their own 'spaghetti western' with their 'spaghetti machine'. The decade-long path of the film moves seamlessly from the personal to the political as TAHIMIK's camera documents the events leading from the assassination of Benigno AQUINO to the fall of the Marcoses, all shown through a 'third world projector' salvaged from a junk pile on Navajo land.
