🎉Day 3 of BAAFF is here! We start off the day with The Road to Sydney, preceded by Sheesh: A Taylor Love Story, followed by Q&A with director Benito Bautista and moderated by Boston's own Candace Persuasian!! 🤩

🎥The Road to Sydney | Directed by Benito Bautista
📅Saturday, Oct. 17, 12:00PM EDT
📍Emerson Paramount Center

The Road to Sydney follows Philippine dance master and choreographer Sydney Loyola, who found refuge in dance after a childhood of bullying in Palawan. Now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sydney faces the painful realities of job loss and eviction following her gender transition and affirmation. Through courage and artistry, she embarks on a journey of healing, identity, and reconciliation with her estranged father.

🎥Sheesh: A Taylor Love Story | Directed by Ramona S. Diaz
PRECEDES THE ROAD TO SYDNEY

In a country where drag is both art and survival, a Filipino impersonator named Taylor Sheesh turns Taylor Swift fandom into a movement of joy, belonging, self-expression, and empowerment — revealing the power of queer performance to make people feel seen, beautiful, and free in a region still fighting for equality.
