The road towards knowing this formative phase has been a long and winding one, with many originary paths long forgotten, if not forsaken, from collective memory. Like its prequel, Cine: Spanish Influences on Early Cinema in the Philippines,² this second volume in a five-book series accounts for the colonial foundations of what would one day become known as Philippine cinema. Born as twin to the nation, cinema mirrored historical conditions shaping the destiny of the emerging nation-state. In this whirlpool of change, cinema was introduced, and its growth paralleled historical events surrounding and shaping the formation of the Philippine republic in the coming century.
Its reconstruction of the past looks back at a major historical juncture that saw significant events happen ¹ -the decline of Spanish rule, the birth of the Filipino nation, and the advance of American imperialism. This book is about the formative beginnings of cinema in the Philippines. Introduction Colonial Beginnings of Native Cinema
