A screening of “Nitrate: To the Ghosts of the 75 Lost Philippine Silent Films (1912-1933)” will be held at the same time as the free concert.

De la Cruz described “Nitrate” as a “black-and-white silent found footage mashup of existing obscure, old Filipino films from the 1950s to the 1970s.” Bayani San Diego Jr.
