Reflecting on 2024: A Bold Year for 2076Kolektib 🖤🎥

This year, we pushed boundaries, celebrated diverse voices, and made our mark on the world stage. As 2024 draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the highlights that defined our journey:

🎬 ALT-R Heroes Film Fest Vol. 2 (February)
An inspiring showcase of the best short films by Filipino directors, celebrating creativity, courage, and new perspectives in indie cinema.

Participated by filmmakers Kyla Romero, Arbi Barbarona, Joe Bacus, Arvin Belarmino, Roman Perez, Jr., Sean Romero, Vahn Pascual, and Toni Cañete. Attended by actors Tito Valiente, Shamaine Buencamino and RS Francisco who served as jury members of the New Horizon Section. Filmmakers Manuel Garcellano, Archie del Mundo and Rye Paruñgao judged the Ne Visions section. Tito Valiente delivered a paper on the black and white version of Ang Lihim ni Antonio which served as the opening film.

Kyla Romero won Best Film in the New Visions category for "Dose," Sean Romero took home the trophy for Best Film in the New Horizon section for "The World We Left," while Arbi Barbarona garnered the ALT-R Heroes Visionary Award for his work in "The Right to Life."

🌍 Guardia de Honor’s Global Run
Our film traveled far and wide this year:
🌟 World premiere: 46th Moscow International Film Festival (April)
🌊 Asian recognition: Da Nang Asian Film Festival (July)
🇵🇭 Homecoming: Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival (August)
✈️ International stage: Asian Film Festival Barcelona (November)
🚀 Onward to 2025: 23rd Dhaka International Film Festival (January)

🌈 Rainbow Cine (June)
For Pride Month, we offered free streaming of Jay Altarejos’ films, spotlighting compelling LGBTQ+ narratives. Representation matters, and we were proud to champion stories that resonate deeply with our community.

✊ Art as Resistance (Bonifacio Day, November 30)
Marking this important day, we offered a free online screening of Walang Kasarian ang Digmang Bayan. This was more than just a film—it was a call to action, reminding us all of the power of art in pushing for change.

🔥 What’s Next in 2025?
We’re thrilled to announce two new projects in collaboration with Studio X by Jay Altarejos:

A poignant BL feature exploring love and self-discovery.
A gripping psychological drama that promises to leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

These milestones wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible collaborators: ADCC Productions, UP Film Institute Gagaoolala, iWantTFC, Ticao Altamar Boutique Resort, Tito Valiente, Jay Lin, Randy Estrellado, Marilyn Altarejos, Vic Salas, Art Cruz, Riz Cruz, Dennis Evangelista, Ferdinand Lapuz, Noy Lauzon, Sinag de Leon, Marinel Cruz, Jan Milo Severo, Josh Mercado and Zig Dulay, CreatePH, and the Film Development Council of the Philippines.

THANK YOU to everyone who supported us in 2024. Your unwavering belief in bold storytelling fuels our passion to keep creating, questioning, and inspiring.

Mula kina Manuel, Mac, at Jay, maraming salamat!
Here’s to an even brighter 2025. ✨

Filmmaker Jay Altarejos shared his process of discovering the Director's Vision on November 26 with students from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines - Open University, under Associate Professor Jaerold Ramos' 2B Broadcast Writing and Production Class.

Altarejos reflected, "One of the greatest lessons I learned from National Artist for Film Ishmael Bernal is the importance of finding the director's vision. The director's vision is a comprehensive understanding and intuitive sensing of the film right from the start. By sensing, I mean the way we perceive the film through our different senses—how it looks, sounds, and even feels—and the discourse it inspires afterward.

Equally important is sharing this vision with the rest of the production team. This ensures that every member can interpret and contribute to it through the various elements of filmmaking, creating a unified and compelling cinematic experience."

The online session featured a fruitful discussion with students, using Altarejos' latest film, Guardia de Honor, as a case study. Thank you for inspiring future filmmakers, Direk Jay—Padayon! 🎥✨

🎥 Walang Kasarian ang Digmang Bayan sa Araw ni Bonifacio

Director’s Note:
Isa sa mga palatandaan ng kawastuhan ng pakikibakang nagaganap sa kanayunan ay makikita sa pagkilala at pagsulong ng karapatang pantao ng lahat, anuman ang kakanyahan o kasarian.

Ang kilusan na naglilingkod sa masa at nakikipaglaban para sa ganap na pagbabago ng lipunan ay matagal nang kinilala ang karapatang magpakasal ng magkaparehas na kasarian noon pang 1998. Ang unang kasal ng parehong kasarian ay naganap noong 2005—isang makasaysayang hakbang na nagbigay-inspirasyon sa mga patuloy na lumalaban para sa pagkakapantay-pantay, ngunit nananatiling pangarap dahil ipinagkakait pa rin ito ng gobyerno.

Hanggang ngayon, ang SOGIE Equality Bill—na nag-ugat pa sa anti-discrimination bill na inihain ni Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago noong 2000—ay nananatiling nakabinbin at hinaharang sa Senado ng mga konserbatibo at pulitikong nadidiktahan ng iba't ibang simbahan.

Ang eksenang ito sa Walang Kasarian ang Digmang Bayan ay sumasalamin sa adhikaing ito—isang rebolusyonaryong pagsasakatuparan ng pagmamahal at pagkakapantay-pantay sa gitna ng pakikibaka.

Ito ay lalo pang nagpapaigting sa ating paniniwalang tuluyan lamang lalaya ang kasarian kapag lumaya ang uri—isang adhikaing kailangang sama-samang isulong ng bawat isa.
– Jay Altarejos, 24 November 2024

🎥 Director’s Note: Walang Kasarian ang Digmang Bayan

This film has opened my mind to the broader struggles of the working class—struggles that intersect with issues faced by marginalized groups, including transgender women. One moment that left a deep impression on me was hearing stories of trans women who had to cut their hair just to meet job application requirements. These experiences, alongside accounts of grueling hours and unjust labor practices, highlight the systemic oppression many face daily.

In this still from the film, Paolo (played by Oliver Aquino), a filmmaker, interviews Clara (Bunny Cadag), a trans woman activist, during a camp-out at the picket line. This scene serves as a poignant reminder of how art and activism intertwine in the fight for justice.

📅 Event Details:
• Film: Walang Kasarian ang Digmang Bayan
• Dates: November 30 to December 1, 2024
• Screening Times: Accessible in four convenient windows daily.
