Film : American influences on Philippine cinema / Nick Deocampo. - xiii, 600 pages : illustrations 24 cm.
With funding support from the Film Development Council of the Philippines and the Center for New Cinema.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 593-600).
This book is a sequel to Cine: Spanish Influences on Early Cinema in the Philippines, and part of Nick Deocampo's extensive research on Philippine cinema. Tracing the beginnings of motion pictures from its Spanish roots, this book advances Deocampo's scholarly study of cinema's evolution in the hands of Americans. By bringing back cinema's colonial past, he uncovers a significant theme in contemporary Philippine historiography : cinema as site for a Filipino identity amidst the hegemonic cultural domination of Hispanic and American influences. To this cultural battle, Deocampo uniquely contributes the concept of "trialectic," adding to the two the nascent, but no less potent, native influence that would one day lead to the appropriation of cinema as "national" culture.
