After a hundred years of Philippine cinema being defined by the movie industry, this exhibition revolutionizes the idea of what constitutes Filipino film heritage—by looking at the country’s rhizomatic film culture, a network of interlacing cinematic forms and expressions older and more pervasive in kind than the industrial mainstream format. Imitating such diversity, films are identified in this exhibit according to their distinct cinematic forms. Thematically, each film genre is given an introduction that identifies its cinematic nature and the history it generates.
Curated by multi-awarded filmmaker, film historian, and film literacy advocate, Prof. Nick Deocampo, this exhibition features a rhizomatic art installation representing the non-linear development of the various genres of Philippine Cinema such as Documentary, Early Cinema, Experimental Film, Short Film, Independent Cinema, Student Film, and others. The exhibition uses Samsung’s Series 5 models to display films under these different genres of Philippine Cinema.
HIDDEN CINEMA: The Virtual Experience of Philippine Cinema’s Centenary promises to be the watershed in marking the historical evolution of cinema in the Philippines as it faces its next century of growth.
