February 2017
Not many people can pinpoint the exact origins of regional cinema. It is even more difficult to articulate its complex relationship with national cinema. But one thing is for sure: it provides a whole new dimension to the shaping of Philippine cultural identity.
SINElangan: a Film Conference on Regional Cinema will be held this February 24 from 9am to 4pm at the CMC Auditorium, where we will not only paint a picture of the birth of regional cinema, but also touch on how it, too, gives birth to a unique diversity within contemporary cinema.
Alamin na natin ang konteksto ng pagsilang ng sineng rehiyon. Tuklasin na natin ang tunay na SINElangan.
