In the universe. In the world. In the Philippines. In the north. In the island of Luzon. In the Cordillera region. In the province of Benguet. In the city of Baguio. There were cinemas. What remains of those cinemas? What stories do they tell? What do they show us? What do they make us feel? A film which, while presenting the stories of some cinemas, is intertwined with the history of the Philippines.
The project stems from a desire to explore the Filipino culture, intertwining memory, space and identity. Through the history of the cinemas in the city of Baguio, in the province of Benguet – where I grow up and my family is from, the film reflects on how cinema, architecture and urban spaces can become silent witnesses to the history of a country and its people.
