    Brief Historical Overview of Philippine Film
    • Theater is in early Philippine society before cinema was introduced.

    name of Pertierra, prepared to launch his first movie show in Manila
    at Christmas Time.
    • The venue was to be at Salon de Pertierra, which he established nine months
    earlier as the Phonograph Parlor on the ground floor of the Casino Espanol at
    Calle Perez, off the Escolta.

    However, he failed to make the presentation and was postponed until new
    year, January 1, 1897.
    On January 1, 1897, the first four movies
    namely,
    Un Homme Au Chapeau (Man with a Hat),
    Une scene de danse Japonaise (Scene
    from a Japanese Dance),
    Les Boxers (The Boxers), and
    La Place de L’ Opera(The Place L’ Opera),
    were shown via 60mm Gaumont Chrono-
    photograph projector at the Salon de
    Pertierra at no. 12 Escolta.

    In the same year, the Lumiere


    Cinematograph was first introduced in the
    Philippines by a Spanish soldier named
    Antonio Ramos.
    • 1919 – Jose Nepomuceno’s
    Dalagang Bukid was released. It is
    known as the first silent film
    produced in the Philippines.
    • The first “talkie” film (film
    with sound) was Jose
    Nepomuceno’s Punyal na
    Ginto (Golden Dagger), which
    premiered on March 9, 1933,
    shown in Lyric Theater.
