Philippine Films on DVD
There are two Philippine films available on DVD with English subtitles that I'm interested in:
Himala (Ishmael Bernal, 1982)
Oro, plata, mata (Peque Gallaga, 1982)
Anyone ordered from the Philippines before? Any good online stores there?

I have ordered in the past from Kabayan Central -- but they have never carried the restored version of Himala (just the much older release).

Thanks for that. Kabayan Central seem to have Oro, plata, mata fortunately.Michael Kerpan wrote:I have ordered in the past from Kabayan Central -- but they have never carried the restored version of Himala (just the much older release).
The new DVD of Himala appears to be quite rare.
Another question; what about this DVD of Perfumed Nightmare (Kidlat Tahimik, 1978), is this the only release available at the moment?

Re: Philippine Films on DVD
I have the Les Blank/Flower Films DVD of Perfumed Nightmare, and it looks OK but not great. It looks as if it were based on an old analogue master. This is one of my all-time favorite films, it's incredibly funny, sharp and even poetic. It may be the pinnacle of "third cinema."

Re: Philippine Films on DVD
Got an email from the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP); a restored edition of Genghis Khan (1950) will be released on DVD in May 2015.
Here's hoping that Insiang (1976) will be next. A restored version of the film will be screened at the Cannes 2015 Film Festival.

Re: Philippine Films on DVD
Has anyone succeeded in getting the DVD of the recent-ish restoration of Himala?

Holy crap, thanks for the heads up! I wonder if they're available worldwide? Is there a way to see a listing of all the restorations?

Re: Philippine Films on DVD
Now available. FDCP emailed me and the DVD was launched during the inauguration of the Cinematheque Center in Manila this month and is exclusively available at the gift shop there. Hopefully I'll get a copy somehow.L.A. wrote:Got an email from the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP); a restored edition of Genghis Khan (1950) will be released on DVD in May 2015.
