Pirate Film Cultures in Manila

In this week's episode, guest Jasmine Nadua Trice discusses her article "Manila's New Cinephilia," which analyzes the informal circulation of DVDs through Manila's street vendors during the early 21st century. Trice demonstrates how these pirate forms of film distribution and consumption are quotidian practices in the Global South and why they represent new form of cinephilia, an appreciation of and deep knowledge of cinema's technological aspects independent of the text itself.
