About the Film:

This archival documentary traces the history of Kilawin Kolektibo, a pioneering collective of FilipinXs who came together in NYC in the mid-nineties. Having experienced marginalization in Filipino culture because of their queerness and in mainstream gay culture because of their race, language, and gender, the members of the group sought political empowerment and increased visibility. Drawing on a treasure trove of over a quarter-century of historic documentation, the film tells the story of members as they protest and party, serving as an exhilarating memorial to the rebellion and nostalgia of the nineties and a love letter to today's queer QTBIPOC community.

Between zany pick-up lines and cheeky call-outs, this documentary is quite the charmer—full of sweet-talking chismis and hugot from the heart! Through a series of iconic archival footage and modern-day accounts, featuring massage-train interviews and camp sing-alongs, community members trace the heartfelt intricacies of their political affiliations and attractions, flirting with the crossfires of memory and possibility: Who were we to each other? Where are we now? Filmmakers and former members Barbara Malaran and Desireena Almoradie reunite to both preserve and transform their shared history.


Salamat!
