Take the values selected in the dropdowns and pass them as query string values.

it isn't normally passed, a Filter only modifies the WHERE / Order by of the thing it's filtering.

However, there's nothing to say you can't use the MacroContext.CurrentResolver.SetNamedSourceData("MyFilterValue", TheFilterValue) to add your value to the current macro resolver so you can call {% MyFilterValue %} in the page to display whatever you pass to it.

After re-reading the question, i retract my answer, didn't know you were setting it on the another page. BK's recommendation is correct, pass it in the Query String, otherwise you would have to try to post it and catch that which...really makes no sense to do.
