QCShorts Program 1: At Night We Lead Different Lives

Featuring sensual titles from the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, France, and Indonesia, this program of shorts venture into the double lives humans live after dark. Moving between magic realism, horror, fantasy, and national allegory, together they examine the traps of transactional relationships and the ways they eventually lead to self-implosion. The lineup includes AND IF THUY DIDN'T EXIST (dir. Carlo Francisco Manatad), BODY WORKS (dir. Maki Makilan), IS THIS DESIRE? (dir. Apa Agbayani), SHE SAID (dir. Ivan Tan), and THROUGH THE CRACKS (dir. Lê Hoàng)
