Notes on Beauty

Mga Tala sa Kagandahan (Notes on Beauty) follows a filmmaking and theatre workshop for genderqueer kids (in swardspeak, baby bakla) in a Sitio in the City Antipolo, Rizal - a known pilgrimage site east of Manila. Its assertion: the right to our own representation, in front of and behind the camera. The footage, majorly shot by the kids, are a mixture of moments of learning and play times, that hopes to show the kids' view of the world in their first takes.
