AMBIENT IMAGES II
October 22 @ 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm
AMBIENT IMAGES II
In celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Month, the UP Center for Ethnomusicology, in an inaugural partnership with the UP Film Institute and with the support of the Office of the UP Diliman Chancellor, presents the film festival “Ambient Images II.” A second iteration, the event continues the Center’s advocacy of representing the people and musical cultures of the Philippines, Asia, and other regions of the Global South. The festival will feature short and full-length documentary and fictional works, supplemented by musical performances as well as commentaries and live discussions with filmmakers, that explore dynamic identities mediated through history and geographic movements, sound, technology, the imperial gaze, and self-reflection. Ambient Images II will run on October 21, 22, 24, and 25 at various venues of the UP Film Center Complex in Diliman, Quezon City.
Ambient Images II’s selections engage the many guises of empire that inhabit technologies of communication; polar trajectories of Indigenous experience, one on the brink of moral erasure, the other promising redemption through self-rediscovery; messy, ethnographic realisms as an antidote to orientalist tendencies; and pursuits of existential meaning across space and time within broad autobiographical realms.
Screenings will be held at the Ishmael Bernal Gallery, Videotheque, and Perfume Garden. Seats are limited, though the event is free and open to the public. Register here: bit.ly/ambientimages2
