Minding the Gap is one of the best documentaries I have *ever* seen. It's so deeply personal and honest. The way Bing Liu breaks down generational trauma and masculinity within his friend group is stunning. Cleaners (2019) ⏰ Break 8:45pm \| Start 9:00pm "At a catholic high school in the Filipino city of Tuguegarao, a rambunctious batch of students rebel against all expectations to be good and clean." I'll let Kani, the film distributors, explain why Cleaners is so special: *"Every frame of filmmaker Glenn Barit’s Cleaners was printed, hand colored with highlighters, and then rescanned, giving each of its angst-drenched emotions a singular handmade texture and the whole film a bone-deep nostalgia for growing up in the Philippines in the early aughts. One-of-a-kind visuals, plus earnest tracks by Filipino emo band Typecast and a swelling score composed by Barit himself, compel us to feel the fullest extent of Cleaners’ all at once loud, soft, funny, and sweet teenage antics and affections." –* Kani
