These developments are wonderful news; I will go as far as declaring that this rediscovery of Conde's Genghis Khan is the most significant news in the film culture scene since the end of cinema's second golden age in the early 1980s!!
But the announcement made to restore titles such as Maalaala Mo Kaya, Anak, et al as the Archive's next project is, I think, a step in the wrong direction. The films mentioned are good ones (Tanging Yaman is a favourite of mine), to be fair, but they are far from being the classics in the league of Genghis Khan, Himala, and Oro,Plata,Mata. These Star Cinema titles are relatively minor works from their respective directors, and the ones that obviously needs resurrecting and re-introduced to a new generation of film-lovers are these film-makers best works (masterpieces, even): the late Marilou Diaz-Abaya's Brutal and Moral, Laurice Guillen's Salome and Init sa Magdamag, other works by Peque Gallaga and Ishmael Bernal, plus ouvres by other great directors such as Gerry De Leon, Lamberto Avellana, Manuel Silos, Eddie Romero, Lino Brocka, Mike De Leon, Celso Ad Castillo, the list can go on...
