Cleaners is an anthology film with stories told from the different points of view of the designated "cleaner" of a senior high-school class in Tuguegarao City. We're pretty sure you experienced taking on this role back in your school days! Each tale dives into the different taboos you might first encounter during high school—a.k.a. the usual time our naive days come to an end—from something as seemingly inane as pooping in school to dealing with corrupt politicians who happen to be your own parents.
What sets Cleaners apart isn't just the highly relatable and poignant themes it tackles, but the way it is presented: highlighted stills made to look like photocopied frames coming together to create a unique stop-motion effect. "I felt that photocopying the frames and manually handling them, brings forth this sense of unknown mistakes, misprints, or ‘mga lampas’ in highlighters," as director Glenn Barit told SPOT.ph in an interview. "I think [the effect] also goes with the theme of the film—of straying away from what is supposed to be ‘clean’ and 'perfect.'"
Aside from earning cult-fave status with the emo kids of the late aughts (among others), Cleaners made the rounds in both local and international film festivals. It won awards at both the 2019 QCinema International Film Festival and Gawad Urian and had its international premiere at the 2020 Busan International Film Festival in Korea. Now, the film is finally having its digital homecoming! BRB while we look for our old text-lingo kodigo.
