“Overcoming institutional and personal lapses to give attention to little-seen works in a variety of formats—some quite recent, some surviving decades of loss and decomposition—this program collects loose parts in motion, a series of bangs, or kalampag in Tagalog, exploring how these 13 films might resonate off each other in the context of a screening program and a contemporary audience. These are some of the most singular, fragile, and striking films and videos from the Philippines and its diaspora from over the past three decades.”—Merv Espina and Shireen Seno, curators
