Synopsis:
Filipino filmmaker Nick Deocampo embarks on another cinematographic adventure with CINE/SINE: Spanish Beginnings of Philippine Cinema, a 3D documentary. The hour-long digital animation recreates the origin of motion pictures in the Philippines. Based on his book Cine: Spanish Influences on Early Cinema in the Philippines, the documentary traces the beginning of cinema in 1897 when two Spaniards showed the first moving pictures in Escolta, Manila. Against the backdrop of war and revolution, film developed to become the emerging Filipinos’ dominant form of public entertainment. Featured in the documentary are elements of Spanish culture found in Filipino films as evidenced through the classic films made by three National Artists Eddie Romero, Lino Brocka and Ishmael Bernal.
