Jay Altarejos asserts that art isn’t enough to help solve the country’s problems

On November 30, progressive director Jay Altarejos said art isn’t enough to help solve the country’s problems.

During the talkback with the filmmakers of Walang Kasarian Ang Digmang Bayan, Altarejos said that artists should go beyond filmmaking to help solve societal issues.

“Sana we go beyond what we are doing, we go beyond our personal spaces. Ano pa ‘yung pwede nating gawin. Kaya sabi ng pelikula, hindi sapat ‘yung sining. 

“Hindi sapat ‘yung gagawa lang tayo ng pelikula, pero wala na tayong gagawin kasama ng sambayanan. Hindi sapat, kailangan natin sumama doon dahil hindi sapat ang sining sa suliranin na hinaharap ng sambayanan at bayan ngayon.”

He also acknowledged it wasn’t easy to make progressive films in the current political climate.

“Medyo mahirap, mahirap gumawa ng ganitong mga pelikula sa mga panahon ngayon. Sinasabi nila nakakatakot. Kung matatakot, nandito na nga tayo, malapit na eh. 

“Di ba takot pa rin ba tayo? Hindi naman tayo namatay eh. Kaya pa nating lumaban. Parang ganon ‘yung pelikula na kaya pa rin nating lumaban na kahit dudurugin tayo. Pero dapat lumaban tayo.” 

He then revealed why he chose to release Walang Kasarian Ang Digmang Bayan on November 30 during Andres Bonifacio Day.

“Kaya po napili namin sa araw ni Bonifacio, dahil syempre tinatanong nila saan mo ba ipapalabas ‘to? Katatapos lang talaga namin ito. So festival nanaman ba sa abroad? Pero mag-aantay ‘yun next year. 

“Makakapag-antay ba ‘yung pelikulang may ganito, next year baka iba na ‘yung presidente mo. So walang ibang araw kung di ngayon sa araw ni Bonifacio. Dahil para saan at para kanino ba natin ginagawa ang mga pelikulang ‘to, kung uunahin naman natin lagi ‘yung mga festival sa ibang bansa.”




Walang Kasarian Ang Digmang Bayan premiered on November 30 via KTX.PH . The progressive LGBTQIA+ film stars Oliver Aquino, Rita Avila, Ruby Ruiz, Chai Fonacier, Iana Bernardez, Bunny Cadag, Archi Adamos, Arnold Reyes, and Sandino Martin.
