From the Inquirer:
Speaking of the digital revolution, Unitel Pictures International (through Unico Entertainment) has put up
www.cine.filipino.com.
The website will offer to online shoppers not only Unitel's prize-winning titles ("Crying Ladies," "Magnifico" and "Imelda"), but also Sampaguita Films classics and the master works of Lino Brocka, Ishmael Bernal and Mario O'Hara, among others.
Likewise, Gloria announced at the forum: "After long negotiations with Mother Lily Monteverde, we were able to acquire some titles from Regal's impressive catalogue of contemporary film classics. We will restore and subtitle these movies and make them available in the Internet."
DVD distribution is the new ballgame, according to Gloria. "Online retail is one way to beat film pirates in their own game."
The Regal Platinum Series will come in three waves.
The first wave includes "Relasyon" by Ishmael Bernal, "Makiusap sa Diyos" by Lino Brocka, and "Babae sa Bintana” by Chito Roño. The second wave consists of "Laro sa Baga" by Roño, "Hahamakin Lahat" by Brocka, and "Makati Avenue: Office Girls" by Jose Javier Reyes. The Third Wave features "Manila by Night (City After Dark)" by Bernal; "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" by Brocka and "The Fatima Buen Story" by Mario O'Hara.
Also in the lineup are Brocka's "Cain at Abel" and Marilou Diaz-Abaya's "Karnal."
