The Ayala Malls in cooperation with the Filipinas Heritage Library are proud to present the Filipino Screen: The Second Golden Age Now, a look at six auteurs who were at the forefront of vanguard filmmaking during the Marcos era, and their masterpieces that still hold significance for contemporary Philippine cinema and its audiences today.
Inspired by Eddie Romero’s seminal piece on history, nation, and identity, Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon?, this festival of films attempts to revive the pertinent question of Romero’s film by creating a contemporary setting to better appreciate works from that period.
Though decades old, these films remain timeless. Their visions are as relevant today as they were when the films were first screened. Through these pieces, we gain a better understanding of contemporary Filipino life and society. Now more than ever, that glorious past in national cinema needs further exploration and renewed appreciation.
The Filipino Screen will feature Himala by Ishmael Bernal, Oro, Plata, Mata by Peque Gallaga, Sister Stella L by Mide de Leon, Bayan Ko: Kapit sa Patalim by Lino Brocka, Perfumed Nightmare by Kidlat Tahimik, and Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon? by Eddie Romero.
This film festival will visit all the Ayala Malls in Metro Manila, Pampanga, and Cebu and is open to the public with a minimal admission fee of P65.
