本次帶來Joanne Cesario 的兩支短片，首先是於2022年曾受女影邀請的實驗性短片《這裡這裡》，與今年方才在奎松影展獲得眾多好評的紀錄短片《看不見的勞工》，透過這些影片讓我們得以理解菲律賓在不同的社會議題與切面。
映後將進行座談分享，歡迎大家在週間一齊觀影跟討論這些屬於菲律賓的故事。

半虛構半實驗在模糊兩者界線間一個關於地景與地貌，既呈現自然原貌，也超越現實邊界的短片。
影片中，主角柯伊自大學畢業後首次返家，發現家鄉因採礦工業的進駐早就變得大不相同。父親因為礦難意外影響而未返家，同時柯伊的耳疾也隱隱發作。找尋治療耳疾與恐懼將失去父親的路途中，透過他重新接觸家鄉將整部影集緩緩道出。

This event presents two short films by Joanne Cesario. First is her experimental short film "Here, Here," which was invited by Locarno in 2020 and Women Make Waves International Film Festival in 2022, along with the 2024 documentary short film "Invisible Labor," which received widespread acclaim at the QCinema Film Festival last year. Through these films, we can gain insight into the Philippines from different social issues and perspectives.
Additionally, there will be a discussion in related fields following the screenings. We welcome everyone to join us during the weekdays to watch and discuss these stories that belong to the Philippines.
“Invisible Labor” 2024|21m
Marcos then, Marcos now. Filipino workers unite and lead the struggle for economic and political rights, determined to shape the course of history. In between, a janitor painstakingly rewinds videotapes featuring these struggles, unknowingly aiding in the preservation of history.

“Here, Here” 2020|19m|
Years after mining operations began, a once rugged and undisturbed town changes drastically. Koi, 22, returns home for the first time since leaving for college, and does so with an infected ear. He accompanies his mother Tonet in waiting for his father, both of them clueless as to whether his father could make it home alive after an accident in the extraction tunnel. As Koi reconnects with his hometown in slow decay, he fears the impending possibility of losing both his father and his hearing. Part fiction, part experiment, and purposefully blurring the distinction, Here, Here is a loose visual study on landscapes and terrains, both natural and beyond.
