“As queer people we’re tolerated but not accepted.”

Rising filmmaker Ryan Machado keeps his cinematic lens on
challenging subjects. After exploring queerness through a
bittersweet nostalgic lens in his previous feature film, Huling
Palabas, which premiered in 2023 in Berlinale’s Generation section,
the Philippine director returns to the festival with a visceral,
tonally dark drama. Set in the 90s on a provincial Philippine
island, Raging touches upon the taboo subject of sexual assault
experienced by young men. Just before the festival closes, Machado
takes time to talk with Lidanoir about the true events that fueled
Raging, its creative risks, and why he believes audiences are ready
for stories that confront raw, uncomfortable, but necessary
subjects.
