Patay na nga ba ang pelikulang Pilipino? Sa kolum na ito, tinalakay ang tunay na kalagayan ng local film industry, ang mga hamon na kinakaharap nito, at kung bakit may pag-asa pa itong muling umangat.
Hindi lang ito kuwento tungkol sa mga wax figures, eskultura at pigura. Ito rin ay pananaw sa sining, kritisismo, at social media.
