Two Filipina lesbians struggle to keep their long-distance love alive in a society that rejects them. “Blue and Orange” is a touching and honest film about their relationship.
Director - Aya Garcia
Aya is a director and cinematographer born and raised in Manila, Philippines. Currently she is living on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish Nations. Aya's work focuses on sharing the stories of historically marginalized individuals and their profound relationship with their communities. Drawing from her own experiences as an immigrant, she captures authentic moments of connection, and weaving their narratives into a tapestry of shared humanity.
Aya's work is collaborative whenever possible. Her work extends a commitment to creating interdependence through art. She enacts her lens in order to create worlds apart from the industries that extract resources from women, people of colour and any historically marginalized groups.
As a creative who has been working in film and video for over 10 years, Aya has had experience working with a wide range of visual artists and organizations that range from KIMMORTAL, Cindy Mochizuki, Deana Peters, Elizabeth Milton, Vivo Media Arts,
The Heart of The City Festival, Vancouver Jazztest, The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, and The Vancouver Film Festival. In the past year, Aya has some of her work shown on platforms such as The Vancouver Art Gallery, Museum of Vancouver, Red Bull channel, the CBC, Telus Originals and Hulu plus a handful of independent films.
