“Doy del Mundo’s partnership with the FDCP’s Philippine Film Archive through this book is not just about an academic throwback to a bygone era. It’s actually a step into a respectable future where heritage and history are spun together as foundations for creating visual greatness. We need to look at where we’ve been to see where we have to go.
“Ang Daigdig ng mga Api: Remembering A Lost Film may just be a vestige of what was an obra from master filmmaker Gerry de Leon, but the film is virtually alive because of this printed memory. Our ambition to build a progressive new library of publications on cinema’s past and present begins with this book.
“Del Mundo’s insights on how a movie that’s meant to be an instrument of propaganda became a faithful narrative of our country’s story through film reinforce the true power of Cinema to create, influence, and change.”
-Undersecretary Liza Diño
Chairperson and CEO
Film Development Council of the Philippines
FROM THE FOREWORD
“The book rightly concludes on a note of optimism. Recognizing and remembering what we have lost empower us to care for what survives. A copy of this film may yet turn up. It happens. One never gives up hope. In the meantime, it lives on here in printed form.”
-Ray Edmondson
Curator Emeritus
National Film and Sound Archive of Australia
