Midterm Project in Arts: Philippine Pop Culture The Midterm Project in Arts focusing on Philippine Pop Culture is an academic endeavor that explores the intersection of art, culture, and society in the Philippines. Specifically, it aims to understand how film, particularly indie film, contributes to addressing and shedding light on various societal issues. Philippine indie films serve as a mirror reflecting society’s complexities, urging us to confront uncomfortable truths and work toward a better future. Independent cinema in the Philippines has long been a powerful platform for addressing pressing social issues. Unlike mainstream commercial films, indie films often operate outside the constraints of big studios and prioritize artistic expression, authenticity, and thought-provoking narratives. These films courageously delve into the complexities of Philippine society, sparking meaningful conversations and challenging viewers to reflect on critical topics.
