One of the most distinguished companies that have sprung up in the current, internationally-acclaimed surge of Philippine indie films is TBA Studios, born of a vision by its founders, businessmen Fernando Ortigas and Ed Rocha, to leave a cultural legacy to the country. This April, Visions/Panawin will focus on four films from TBA Studios, with online links to each film and individual bulletins containing curatorial commentary and backgrounder, list of awards, and links to selected filmmaker interviews and/or behind-the-scenes features.
Sulo: the Philippine Studies Initiative at NYU is coordinating with TBA Studios to ensure that each film will be available on TBA Studios’ YouTube Channel through each of the following weeks that the film is showcased in the Visions/Panawin series. See below for a brief synopsis of the films. Click on the title of the films to access the bulletin for each. Direct links to stream each film are included below.
