“The Resistance of Philippine Cinema” coming to Daly City
June 15th, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Bay Areanos stand up! I’ll be in the area next week (Daly City to be exact) presenting my workshop The Resistance of Philippine Cinema, hosted by the Kalayaan School For Equity. Peep game:
Daly City’s KALAYAAN SCHOOL FOR EQUITY proudly welcomes Seattle, WA hip-hop icon and cultural critic, Geologic aka Prometheus Brown, as he shares his overview of Philippine Cinema. Special emphasis is placed on films and filmmakers who have used the artistic medium as a tool to address the socio-political conditions of the country. Geologic will share many examples of Philippine cinema as sites of resistance and lead participants in discussions regarding the history and present state of Filipinos in the film industry.
Film clips screened include the works of Lino Brocka, Ishmael Bernal, Kidlat Tahimik, Lamberto Avellana, Mike De Leon, Auraeus Solito, Brillante Mendoza, Laurice Guillen, Marilou Diaz-Abaya and several others.
This presentation kicks off the KALAYAAN SCHOOL FOR EQUITY’S summer workshop series offering the local community free programming to explore Filipino community issues, history, artistic traditions, and culture.

Thanks for including my film(s) in your workshop “The Resistance of Philippine Cinema”. Thanks also for your insightful reviews of my first two features “… Maximo Oliveros” and “Tuli”.
It is good that Fil-Americans get to appreciate the emerging new cinema in the Philippines- their roots and origin.
Mahalaga ang paglingon sa iyong pinanggalingan.
Mabuhay ka Prometheus Brown!
