LVN Pictures and the State of Post-War Cinema

It was in the rubble of post-war Manila where big production houses, such as LVN Pictures began to restore their place in society as the foremost source of entertainment. The cultural shift brought about by the war was palpable in the films they produced: alongside their usual fare they began to create movies that encapsulated different aspects of the experience of the Japanese Occupation.

Join Nick Deocampo in LVN Pictures and the State of Post-War Cinema as he rewinds to the studio houses of the 50s, glossy in their black and white film stills and pioneers in the chemical formula of creating love teams.

LVN Pictures and the State of Post-War Cinema is part of HIGHLIGHTS a lecture series presented by the Lopez Museum and Library and the Ateneo Art Gallery.
