Filmography of Filipino Films 2012

Introduction by Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon Compiled by Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon, Maria Regina V. Mendez, and Alex Nicolas P. Tamayo

Introduction

Philippine cinema in 2012 can be pretty summed up by the box-office triumph of a most unlikely release in The Mistress and the international presence for the country’s national cinema courtesy of Brillante Mendoza. The Mistress is from the country’s leading studio, Star Cinema and is the kind of adult romance that is a throwback to love triangles of circa-1960s dramas involving the likes of Eddie Rodriguez, Lolita Rodriguez and Marlene Dauden in the film cast. It’s not exactly family fare and its success at the tills may hint at the changing dynamics of audience taste and patterns of consumption for local movies. As to the waves the country made overseas, two films directed by Mendoza gained significance. Captive—by all means an international film with a French legendary actress Isabelle Huppert in the lead role—vied for top plum at the main competition in Berlin. Superstar Nora Aunor’s comeback, Thy Womb, managed to land a slot in turn in Venice similarly for main competition. With a phenomenon that may prove distinct for Philippine cinema, industry production was much propelled by a kind of festival craze. Sustained endeavors for Cinemalaya, Cinema One, Cinemanila and Metro Manila Film Festival were matched no less by the Sineng Pambansa National Film Festival under the auspices of the Film Development Council of the Philippines—the national agency tasked to oversee the state of affairs pertinent to the country’s film industry.

Filmography 2012

Some 50 titles garnered regular release in mainstream theatrical circuit side by side with a staple of imported fare but only a fraction of the domestic output survived the stiff Hollywood competition. Most of these were comedies along with a number of horror titles and the standard romance - all as expected from the country’s major studio production outfits.
