Stories We Tell When We Tell Stories About Ourselves: Loob and Ginhawa in Philippine Cinema

This book is a meditation on the stories we tell about ourselves when we tell stories about ourselves in cinema. By thematically exploring the works of our cinematic storytellers, it aims to shed light into the depths of the Filipino loob and share the depths of its intuitions, the play of its imagination, the landscapes of its joys and its sufferings, and the kaginhawahan it dreams of. In this way, the work hopes to draw the picture of the self we promise ourselves to be.
