Gerardo Calagui, 2017
Gerardo Calagui’s sophomore feature film is a story of three transgenders trying to find love, family and money in the chaotic red light district of Manila. Tuesday is looking for love, Amanda is searching for family, and Barbie… well, Barbie just can’t stay away from trouble. Those Long Haired Nights follows the three transgender prostitutes and their pimp through their harried and unpredictable working hours in Manila’s hotels, massage parlours, streets – and one lush visit to the country.
