Synopsis

Cleaners is an absurd coming-of-age anthology film about high school students who struggle with the standards and pressures of being pure, proper and clean while discovering that the world they are in is dirty and superficial to begin with. It provides a nostalgic trip to days of youthful self-discovery and social awakening.

The film’s distinct visual style, resembling highlighted photocopied paper (much like the reading materials in Philippine schools), was achieved by exporting the finalised cut of the film at a low frame rate. Each frame was printed onto paper and 30,000 sheets were hand coloured before they were scanned and reassembled again digitally.
