Film Screening: Ghosts of Kalantiaw

The UP Diliman Departments of Anthropology and History, with the UP Film Institute and the UP Diliman Office for Initiatives in Culture and the Arts, will be hosting a special film screening of Chuck Escasa's "Ghosts of Kalantiaw."

This event will be held on October 27, 2025 (Monday) at the Cine Adarna from 2:30 - 5:30 PM.

Part of the official selection at the 2023 Singapore International Film Festival, "Ghosts of Kalantiaw" explores the legacies of the pseudo-historical figure of Datu Kalantiaw by investigating the career and motivations of Jose E. Marco, a storied antiquarian and the mastermind behind multiple historical hoaxes in the Philippines throughout the 20th century.

The special screening will be followed by a talkback session with the filmmakers.

The screening is free and open to the public. To attend, please register using the QR code or go to https://tinyurl.com/kalantiaw2
