PHILIPPINE TATLER
AUGUST 2016

"Seeing the need to inspire very independent filmmakers (like me) who work outside systems and structures, I see an uphill challenge given the large-scale restrictions that send enormous shocks to artists who’re left with almost nothing except their talent and creativity. But there is an urgent need to see the glass half full – never mind if you only see a single drop of water – so we can start re-plotting fresh artistic paths. We can’t end up like the characters in Mike De Leon’s Kisapmata (In Just the Wink of an Eye) – recently restored in its nightmarish beauty – wherein everyone’s fate was unkind. We need to consciously fight the torturous tides. We owe it to the health workers, the service providers, our families and ourselves. We owe it to humanity."

"Prior to the introduction of digital technology, films were already being made outside of Metro Manila. A thriving cinema in Cebu existed between the 1930s and 1970s though a few films were made until the 1990s. 1 In other parts of Visayas, like in Negros and Panay islands, short films have been produced since the early 1990s. For instance, Elvert Bañares from Iloilo made Banal (1993), an experimental short film, which was the first recipient of Best Regional Entry at the Gawad CCP para sa Alternatibong Bidyo at Pelikula given by the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP)"
