shareSensuous images and euphonious music map a transpacific arkipelago of Filipina/o/x diaspora through the eyes and experiences of local Bay Area Pinoy filmmakers. Through these films, land, place, and body fold into a powerful record of diasporic expression. Histories of imperialism in the Philippines and racial disenfranchisement in the US find remediation in the proud, virtuosic work of these Filipino storytellers.
