Ep. 004: CITY OF FLOWERS, conversation with filmmaker Xeph Suarez


Listen Later

Set during the Zamboanga Siege in 2013, City of Flowers is a Christian-Tausug couple's struggle to raise money for the imminent birth of their child, and how they are made vulnerable to abuse because of their circumstances. 

Screen Cap hosts Cenon Obispo Palomares & Avie Felix, and guest co-host Ned Trespeces, talk to filmmaker Xeph Suarez. He shares how the stories he learned while working as a volunteer researcher for a major national newspaper when his hometown was under attack inspired him to make this film. City of Flowers was part of Anima Short Filmlab, and a finalist at QCinema 2021 and Cinemalaya 2022.
