Beginning in the mid-1970’s and continuing through the 1980’s and into
the 1990’s, a number of German film directors, theorists and other movie
people came to work or teach in the Philippines. Some came because the
Goethe-Institut Manila had invited them for workshops and film
presentations. Others came at their own expense because they were
fascinated by Philippines, which– after the People Power revolution of
1986 that ousted the Marcosregime– exercised its own peculiar kind of
magnetism on many Europeans. The workshops “the Germans” conducted and
the film screenings they presented were in part responsible for the
emergence of an alternative film scene in the Philippines that went on
to garner recognition and awards at international film festivals in the
1980s.
This book deals with the “Sine-Kino-Connection”. It documents the
beginnings of the experimental and alternative film movement of the
1980s in the Philippines. And, at the same time, it deals with a part of
German film history that few people in Germany are aware of. Today a new
generation of independent Filipino filmmakers is emerging and once again
garnering critical acclaim in the Philippines and abroad. This book
provides an historical perspective on the earlier development of
experimental, non-mainstream film in the Philippines.
