Kino-Sine.

"Beginning in the mid-1970s and continuing through the 1980s and into the 1990s, a number of German film directors, theorists and other movie people came to work or teach in the Philippines." Tilman Baumgärtel has edited a new book, Kino-Sine: Philippine-German Cinema Relations, with contributions from Lav Diaz, Harun Farocki and many other names you'll know, and best of all, it's free. Click the title for more info on the book to and a link to the free PDF.

And there'll be presentations of the book at the the Annual Southeast Asian Cinemas Conference (ASEACC) in Jakarta on December 18 and at the Asian Hotshots Festival in Berlin on January 18.
