Introduction by Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon

Maria Regina V. Mendez, and Alex Nicolas P. Tamayo
Introduction
Philippine cinema in 2012 can be pretty summed up by the box-office triumph
of a most unlikely release in The Mistress and the international presence for the
country’s national cinema courtesy of Brillante Mendoza.
The Mistress is from the country’s leading studio, Star Cinema and is the
kind of adult romance that is a throwback to love triangles of circa-1960s dramas
involving the likes of Eddie Rodriguez, Lolita Rodriguez and Marlene Dauden
in the film cast. It’s not exactly family fare and its success at the tills may hint
at the changing dynamics of audience taste and patterns of consumption for
local movies.
As to the waves the country made overseas, two films directed by Mendoza
gained significance. Captive—by all means an international film with a French
legendary actress Isabelle Huppert in the lead role—vied for top plum at the
main competition in Berlin. Superstar Nora Aunor’s comeback, Thy Womb,
managed to land a slot in turn in Venice similarly for main competition.
With a phenomenon that may prove distinct for Philippine cinema,
industry production was much propelled by a kind of festival craze. Sustained
endeavors for Cinemalaya, Cinema One, Cinemanila and Metro Manila Film
Festival were matched no less by the Sineng Pambansa National Film Festival
under the auspices of the Film Development Council of the Philippines—the
national agency tasked to oversee the state of affairs pertinent to the country’s
film industry.

Filmography 2012
Some 50 titles garnered regular release in mainstream theatrical circuit
side by side with a staple of imported fare but only a fraction of the domestic
output survived the stiff Hollywood competition. Most of these were comedies
along with a number of horror titles and the standard romance - all as expected
from the country’s major studio production outfits.
