SLAY
Slay features the story of Floyd Scott Tiogangco, a homosexual trans-androgynous gender-queer Filipino performance artist. He is often judged and denied entry to public vehicles and establishments just because of his unique sense of style. This documentary explores how gender expression is also grounds for discrimination in the Philippines, and how the idea of sexual orientation often comes with a boxed expectation of how a person’s gender expression should be.
Slay has previously screened at Hanoi International Queer Film Week (Hanoi, Vietnam 2017), Bahagi: Mga Kwento at Kanta sa Ilalim ng Bahaghari (Manila, Philippines 2017), Viet Duc High school and iSEE Institute (Hanoi, Vietnam 2017), Far Eastern University (Manila, Philippines 2017), University of the Philippines (Manila, Philippines 2017), and Asterisco Festival Internacional de Cine LGBTIQ (Buenos Aires, Argentina 2017)
