Arayat. – In 1903, silent films arrived in the Philippines along with American colonialism, where they created a movie market. But these film clips failed to hold the audiences’ attention because of their novelty and the fact that they were made by foreigners. – Two American entrepreneurs made a film in 1912 about Jose Rizal’s execution, the sensation they made it clear that the Filipino’s need for material close to their hearts. This heralded the making of the first Filipino film. La Vida de Jose Rizal – September 12, 1919, a silent feature film broke the grounds for Filipino filmmakers. Dalagang Bukid (Country Maiden) by Hemogenes Ilagan and Leon Ignacio, a movie based on a popular musical play, was the first movie made and shown by Filipino filmmaker José Nepomuceno. Dubbed as the "Father of Philippine Cinema", his work marked the start of cinema as an art form in the Philippines. – Foreigners particularly Americans built early Movie theatres in Manila. – First movie house was opened in 1900 by British entrepreneur Walgrah which is Cine Walgrah at No.60 Calle Santa Rosa in Intramuros. – The second movie house was opened in 1902 by a Spanish entrepreneur, Samuel Rebarber, who called his building, Gran Cinematógrafo Parisino, located at No. 80 Calle Crespo in Quiapo – In 1903, José Jiménez, a stage backdrop painter, set up the first Filipino-owned movie theater, the Cinematograpo Rizal in Azcarraga Street (now C.M.

WORLD WAR II IN PHILIPPINE CINEMA – The outbreak of the Second World War temporarily paralyzed the movie industry in the Philippines. – The Japanese imposed censorship on American and Tagalog pictures. – Julian Manansala’s (Father of nationalistic film) film Patria Amor (Beloved Country) was almost suppressed because of its anti-Spanish sentiments and they created a high-budget film about classical war titled Dugo sa Kapirasong Lupa (Blood Patch), the first time a local film is made concerning about the First Sino-Japanese War. – The war years during the first half of the Forties virtually halted filmmaking activities save for propaganda work that extolled Filipino-Japanese friendship, such as The Dawn of Freedom made by director Abe Yutaka and associate director Gerardo de Leon and co-starred Fernando Poe and Leopold Celecdo. .

Postwar 1940s and the 1950s: The First Golden Age – The resurgence of Visayan Films through Lapu-lapu Pictures. – The 1950s were considered a time of “rebuilding and growth”. But remnants from the preceding decade of the 40s remained in the form of war-induced reality. This is seen is Lamberto Avellana’s Anak Dalita (The Ruins, 1956), the stark tragedy of post-WWII survival set in Intramuros. – Two studios before the war, namely Sampaguita Pictures and LVN, reestablished themselves. – Another studio, Premiere Productions, was earning a reputation for “the vigor and the freshness” of some of its films. This was the period of the “Big Four” when the industry operated under the studio system. Each studio (Sampaguita, LVN, Premiere and Lebran) had its own set of stars, technicians and directors, all lined up for a sequence of movie after movie every year therefore maintaining a monopoly of the industry. – Critics now clarify that the 50s may be considered one “Golden Age” for the Filipino film not because film content had improved but because cinematic techniques achieved an artistic breakthrough in that decade. This new consciousness was further developed by local and international awards that were established in that decade. – Filipino films started garnering awards in international film festivals. One such honor was bestowed on Manuel Conde’s immortal movie Genghis Khan (1952) when it was accepted for screening at the Venice Film Festival. Other honors include awards for movies like Gerardo de Leon’s Ifugao (1954) and Lamberto Avellana’s Anak Dalita. This established the Philippines as a major filmmaking center in Asia. – 1950’s also the time of decline in the movie industry because of: Commercialism and artistic decline, limited market for local movies, lack of capital or funding, inadequate facilities or equipment. – In the 1960s, the foreign films that were raking in a lot of income were action pictures sensationalizing violence and soft core sex films hitherto banned from Philippine theater screens, Italian “spaghetti” Westerns, American James Bond-type thrillers, Chinese/Japanese martial arts films and European sex melodramas. To…get an audience to watch their films, (the independent) producers had to take their cue from these imports. The result is a plethora of films…giving rise to such curiosities as Filipino samurai and kung fu masters, Filipino James Bonds and…the bomba queen. – 1962 under Regal Films was established by Lily Monteverde. – Musical films made popular by Sampaguita pictures. – 1960’s is the emergence of the “Youth Revolt” best represented by The Beatles, and the age of Rock and Roll revolution. – Fan movies such as those of the “Tita and Pancho” and “Nida and Nestor” romantic pairings of the 50s were the forerunners of a new kind of revolution – the “teen love team” revolution. “Nora Aunor and Vilma Santos, along with Tirso Cruz III and Eddie Mortiz as their respective screen sweethearts, were callow performers during the heyday of fan movies. – The age of “Bomba” Films. – Several Philippine films that stood out in this particular era were Gerardo de Leon’s Noli Me Tangere (Touch me Not, 1961) and El Filibusterismo (Subversion, 1962). Two other films by Gerardo de Leon made during this period is worth mentioning – Huwag mo Akong Limutin (Never Forget Me , 1960) and Kadenang Putik (Chain of Mud, 1960), both tales of marital infidelity but told with insight and cinematic import. THE MARTIAL LAW ERA – In 1972, President Marcos declared Martial Law. – Marcos and his technocrats sought to regulate filmmaking. The first step was to control the content of movies by insisting on some form of censorship. One of the first rules promulgated by the Board of Censors for Motion Pictures (BCMP) stipulated submission of a finished script prior to the start of filming. When the annual film festival was revived, the censors blatantly insisted that the “ideology” of the New Society be incorporated into the content of the entries. – So despite the censors, the exploitation of sex and violence onscreen continued to assert itself. Under martial law, action films depicting shoot outs and sadistic fistfights ( which were as violent as ever) usually append to the ending an epilogue claiming that the social realities depicted had been wiped out with the establishment of the New Society. – The notorious genre of sex or bomba films that appeared in the preceding decade were now tagged as “bold” films. – The audience’s taste for sex and nudity had already been whetted. Producers cashed in on the new type of bomba, which showed female stars swimming in their underwear, taking a bath in their camison (chemise), or being chased and raped in a river, sea, or under a waterfall. Such movies were called the wet look. – Ang Pinakamagandang Hayop sa Balat ng Lupa (The Most Beautiful Animal on the Face of the Earth, 1974) by Celso Ad Castillo which starred former Miss Universe Gloria Diaz is an example of this movie genre. – 70s gave way to “the ascendancy of young directors who entered the industry in the late years of the previous decade…” FILM MAKERS OF THE MARCOS ERA Ishmael Bernal (1938-1996) – Nunal sa Tubig (1975) – Salawahan (1979) – Manila by Night/City After Dark (1980) – Relasyon (1982) – Himala (1982) – Hinugot sa Langit (1985) Lino Brocka (1939-1991) – Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang (1974) – Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag (1975) – Insiang (1976) – Ang Tatay Kong Nanay (1978) – Bona (1980) – Bayan Ko: Kapit sa Patalim (1984) – Orapronobis (1989) Mike de León (b. 1947) – Itim (1976) – Kakabakaba Ka Ba?

ABS-CBN's Star Cinema produced Ronquillo: Tubong Cavite, Laking Tondo in cooperation with Regal Films. Five years later, another television station, GMA Network, started producing movies.
