PELIKULA JOURNAL 8 IS OUT NOW!
Volume 8 of Pelikula traces and crosses several boundaries. Through productive conversations between scholars and artists, words and images, the volume broaches issues not often discussed in Philippine motion picture and moving image production and circulation to open new avenues for theorizing and research.
One set of essays by choreographers, dancers, and performance scholars examines the relationship of the body’s movements and their contexts in time with that of the film apparatus and the virtual spaces it creates.
For another set of essays, we asked artists and curators how moving-image media could be historicized or conceptualized beyond the traditional framework of cinema, even one characterized as “alternative,” and what distinguishing video from film could mean to critical art practice and activism.
A third group of articles revisits the contentious history and considers the recent productivity of sex cinema and inquires about the extent and unexpected consequences of the political and economic exploitation of the sex film, the attempts to elevate it artistically and counterculturally, and the need to let women involved in their making speak out.
Finally, several articles meditate on the place of queer, laboring, and activist bodies in current Philippine cinema, both onscreen and behind the scenes.

This volume of Pelikula is dedicated to the memory of oral historian, film programmer, cultural organizer, archiving and regional filmmaking advocate, and cinephile par excellence Teddy Co.

Volume 8 of PELIKULA: A JOURNAL OF PHILIPPINE CINEMA AND MOVING IMAGE is coming soon!
In this cover art for PELIKULA 8 designed by Pol Torrente, two sculptures reclaiming the female body—Piscean Deluge (1990), of a woman swimming with animals in troubled waters, and Thinking Nude (1988), of a woman contemplating the reflection of her own nakedness—are framed together in a scene from Hesumaria Sescon’s Yuta: The Earth Art of Julie Lluch (1991), with the same scene reused in the collective documentary, Ynang Bayan: To Be a Woman is to Live at a Time of War (1991).
