  Vibal Foundation’s Art Book Chronicles 123 years of Philippine Cinema  Vibal Foundation recently launched Philippine Cinema, 1897-2020 —a lavishly illustrated art book that not only provides an in-depth retrospective of over a hundred years of Philippine cinema, but also simultaneously traces its history, genres, narratives, tropes, and lore while subjecting its rich filmography to critique and film theory.

Arte Filipino promotes Philippine artistic history and culture and brings art into broader public view by pairing innovative scholarship with brilliantly reproduced visuals.  Written by Ga...
