in celebration of ITI MAPUKPUKAW’sbox office success and BEST FILM victory at the 19th cinemalaya film festival, here’s a thread consisting of 15 films to celebrate ph cinema’s most underserved cinematic medium—animation.

⊹₊ ⋆ animation in philippine cinema, a thread:





disclaimer: i actually based this thread off a pre-existing film list by letterboxd user @/pelikula, who has compiled filipino animated works, both feature-length and short films. (doing the lord's work) 🙏

my love for the genre of period pieces! which kind of stems na rin from my love for history. noong araw na nagsisimula palang ako rito sa film twt nabanggit ko rin ata na puro lang ako hollywood keme nun. lalo na mga pelikula ng nanay kong si keira knightley 🫶

and it was such a breath of fresh air that the local scene has invested in such production knowing gaano ka-expensive ng budget na kailangang i-allot for this. bihira lang tayong may gantong media na set in this genre—sure meron ngang some but ‘di nga sila masyadong recognized. +

inspired by my love of the recently concluded show, @gmanetwork's Maria Clara at Ibarra, this thread longs to open doors to watchers and inspire filmmakers to keep the genre of period films in philippine cinema alive.

⊹₊ ⋆ period films from the philippines: a thread (note: this idea was originally conceived as a compilation of costume dramas in ph cinema, but i expanded it to include historical & fictionalized period pieces set not later than the 1960s, that aren't considered contemporary of their time of release.) boxd.it/l31xG

THE AD PLACEMENT??? #MCIEndingYarn @/gmanetwork you will BE dealt with 😭😭😭

you wouldn’t be saying that if you actually did watch the show bcs the filay subplot takes up almost only 5-10% of the whole story itself 😑

⊹₊ ⋆ first love in asian coming-of-age films

a thread ꜜ first love 初恋 (dir. yuri kanchiku, 2022)
• not a film but a 9-episode j-drama on netflix which inspired me to create this list
• a man and a woman retrace their memory of an unforgettable first love. they first met in the 90s and grew up together in the 00s.
