Queer Vistas: Sintiendo la Marea brings together a constellation of Filipinx queer films that reflect on body, desire, spirituality, myth, memory, and archives. The programme embraces queerness not as a fixed identity, but as a relational and fluid force — one that unsettles colonial, national, gendered, and cinematic boundaries. Rooted in an intersectional perspective, the selected works acknowledge the complexity of queer Filipinx experience — shaped by histories of migration, diaspora, and cultural hybridity. These films move like tides: shifting between spaces, navigating silences, and carrying the emotional textures of lives that often remain at the margins of dominant narratives.
Featuring works by Dinaly J. Tran, Maureen Catbagan, Berjer B. Capati, Joshua Serafin, and Kitty Yeung. This screening invites reflection on how experimental and poetic film can become a tool for collective memory, resistance, and re-imagining belonging. Beyond the screen, this gathering is also an opportunity to connect — to deepen exchange within the Filipinx creative community in Barcelona and to celebrate its richness through conversation and care.
Screening was on Monday, June 16, 7-10 pm at La Guacara Gallery, Barcelona in collaboration with Monday Night Tales, Ratita Films, and Nowness Asia.
