Kalampag Tracking Agency + Saluhan Collective

Presented as part of Overshare Video Festival in October 2024 and curated by recess, this event featured films by Kalampag Tracking Agency, hosted by Saluhan and Pagbasa Archive with food by FiloFeeds.

Kalampag Tracking Agency: is an ongoing curatorial initiative between Shireen Seno of Los Otros and Merv Espina of Generation Loss (GEN_LOSS). Overcoming institutional and personal lapses to give attention to little-seen works—some quite recent, some surviving loss and decomposition—this programme collects loose parts in motion, a series of bangs, or kalampag in Tagalog, assembled by 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 is an initiative that continues to navigate the uncharted topographies of Filipino alternative and experimental moving image practice.

Films: Miko Revereza + Melchor Bacani III + Rox Lee + John Torres + Yason Banal + Tad Emritano + Raya Martin + Tito & Tita + Martha Atienza + Jon Lazam + Jimbo Albano + Eli Guieb III + Cesar Hernando + Saluhan.

Produced by: Testing Grounds.
