as if nothing happened
2020 • PHILIPPINES • 13 MIN • HYBRID
DIRECTED BY JT TRINIDAD
PRODUCED BY MA. SOPHIA SIBAL
SYNOPSIS
This is for Kyle. We don’t see him. Max journeys as an unsent letter is being read. Images of bridges and random places that seem familiar. Clips from Max’s phone. Shots of people crossing who weren’t able to cross over. Fireworks that ended and started new meanings. People fighting for democracy. Peace that is nowhere to be found. All in fragments and fragile memory—as if nothing happened.
