General Note
  • General note - A brief journey into the history of Philippine Cinema from its introduction in Hispanic Escolta in 1897 until the end of World War II in Avenida. Rendered in 3D animation, the growth of motion pictures is visualized by revisiting the movie theaters, where films were first shown, to the early film studios, where local films were first produced. Important film personalities are recognized for the contributions they gave to film - from the Spanish and American film pioneers to the first generation of Filipino producers and artists. Encapsulated is the first blossoming of cinema in the country interrupted by the outbreak of World War II.
  • General note - Highly recommended for students in History, Film, Communications, and Philippine Arts and Culture.
