INDIGNATION QUEER FILM FESTIVAL 2018 PRESENTS:Si Chedeng At Si AppleDirectors: Rae Red & Fatrick Tabada (bios at the end of page)Phillipines / 2017 / 87minsTagalog with English subtitles R21Absurdist yet dry cutting humor envelops this part buddy-comedy, part lesbian-romance from Filipino directors Fatrick Tabada and Rae Red. Retired school principal Chedeng is pretty relieved when her demanding elderly husband passes away. She decides it's time to come out to her remaining family and rekindle her first love, a girl named Lydia who she hasn't seen in decades. Happy to help is Chedeng's best friend Apple, who in a fit of justifiable rage murders her own abusive husband. Off with his head! …and into Apple's favorite Louis Vuitton bag. Off they go across the country to find Lydia, only soon they are running from the law once the body is found. At least they still have his head in a bag. Hunted by Apple's stepdaughter and Chedeng's oblivious sons, the duo stumble, laugh, and step in dog excrement on their quest for Lydia, which leads to some unexpected consequences. Perhaps there's more to this lifelong friendship than either of them realizes. Unbending in its hilarity, audiences will find much to root for between these two criminals.https://youtu.be/PCuN_3bbtL8ABOUT INDIGNATIONThe IndigNation Film Festival brings our diverse queer communities together with queer Asian narrative films and documentaries from around the world.
