About this book
Reviews
“A rich and involving study of film in the Philippines, one that tells us much about the specificities of a national industry, but also offers a broader theoretical analysis that encompasses the interconnected dynamics of production, distribution and exhibition, the interdependencies of mainstream and indie sectors, and how formal and informal distribution economies are interleaved and entwined. A comprehensive analysis of a film industry that is continually in-the-making.” (Mark Banks, CAMEo Research Institute for Cultural and Media Economies, University of Leicester, UK)
