- Alpha Kappa Omega Batch '81 (also known as Batch '81 or ΑΚΩ 81) is a 1982 Filipino psychological drama film directed by Mike de Leon, with a screenplay by de Leon, Clodualdo del Mundo, Jr., and Raquel Villavicencio. The film depicts the titular fraternity's harsh initiation of new batch members as seen through the eyes of pre-med student Sid Lucero, played by Mark Gil in what is generally recognized as his breakout role. The film premiered at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival during the Directors' Fortnight, screened alongside de Leon's 1981 film Kisapmata. Upon release, the film received critical acclaim. It was adjudged by the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino as one of the Ten Best Films of the Decade. In 2017, the film was digitally restored with the support of the Asian Film Archive, with a theatrical premiere at the 74th Venice International Film Festival as part of the Venice Classics section.

- The anarchists tear apart a dummy in the course of their song. They are always challenging other frats to rumbles. I had the Fascists perform songs from Cabaret as I thought the female impersonation bit stresses the fact that they have changed into other human beings. (en)
- I wasn't so much interested in the torture–the pulling out of nails, the senseless beatings–but in the possibilities of mental torture, of psychological torture. The project went under the initial title of Frat, and I compiled ten cassette tapes of interviews with frat members. (en)

- That [it] still resonates in my country is concerning, although in some ways expected. Sadly, it seems that incipient dictatorship is again rearing its ugly head. In this environment, extrajudicial killings continue unabated under the guise of a war against illegal drugs, the Constitution and rule of law are blatantly disregarded, political leaders and even Supreme Court justices are cowed into submission and a professional army of social media trolls viciously attacks online dissent. History is being blatantly rewritten and the martyrdom of countless martial law victims is denigrated as stupidity and a dictator is given a hero’s burial in the dead of the night. In this situation, what can one film do? Nothing much … in fact, very little. But there are still countless Filipinos who share my apprehension and are not afraid to speak out. We will not allow our country to be dragged back to those dark times—a situation best described by the blurb on the film’s original poster: ‘A secret world where freedom is obedience, and authority is violence.’ Only this time, this world of unbridled brutality is no longer a secret.
