导演阐述
《边线》将 HIV 作为一个讨论话题。我想让HIV感染者的声音更响亮，尤其是那些居住在像邦板牙这样的省份的人，在这种深深植根于“不闻不问”文化下，他们对污名和歧视斗争的声音因沉默而被减弱。我认为这是一个不应被压抑的话题，而应作为一种交流的呼吁。呼吁沟通，呼吁强大的支持体系，因为它是治愈HIV的开始。除了 HIV 之外，我将讲述一对关系失衡的父子的故事，以及 HIV 自测盒上的两条线如何挽回两人间被遗忘的爱和亲情。这部电影展示了沟通如何在家庭中发挥关键作用，爱可以通过沟通来引导，而沟通本身就是爱。《边线》讲述了一个关于疾病如何将破损的家庭关系恢复正常的故事。

Director’s Statement
Gulis (Lines) treats HIV as a venue of discourse. I want to contribute to make the voices of persons living with HIV louder, with emphasis on those who reside in the provinces like Pampanga, who have been muted by the silence in their battle against stigma and discrimination rooted deeply in a culture of “let’s not talk about it”. I see it as a topic that should not be suppressed, but should serve as a call for communication. A call for communication is a call for a strong support system; and a strong support system is the start of healing. More than HIV, I will tell a story of a dysfunctional father-son relationship and how two lines of an HIV self-screen cassette bring back the once forgotten love and affection between the two. This film shows how communication plays a vital role in a family: that love can be channeled through communication, that communication itself is love. Gulis tells a story of how an illness heals a wounded relationship in a family back to its normal, functioning form.
