Overcoming institutional and personal lapses to give attention to little-seen works—some quite recent, some surviving loss and decomposition—this program collects loose parts in motion, a series of bangs, or kalampag in Tagalog, assembled by their individual strengths and how they might resonate off each other and a contemporary audience. Featuring some of the most striking films and videos from the Philippines and its diaspora, this initiative continues to navigate the uncharted topographies of Filipino alternative and experimental moving image practice from the past 30 years. And/or join us at the opening night gala at ATA, where I will be co-presenting *"Ways of Seeing: People and Places of Southeast Asia"* details at: http://www.i-seafilmfest.com/festival-highlights.html#p1 <http://www.i-seafilmfest.com/festival-highlights.html#p1> fb: https://www.facebook.com/events/1655395104700941/ Family home movies, moving and still images from the French colonial era, Hollywood films, and declassified CIA propaganda frame the varied histories of Southeast Asians in a live interactive presentation at I-SEA Film Festival opening night party. Attendees discover little known histories and explore different notions of the Southeast Asian experience through moving and still images. What ideologies and values frame these images? Beyond the stereotypes, do these images reflect some semblance of Southeast Asian identity?
