Notable Filipino critics write on the canonical Filipino film directors: Ronald Baytan on Ishmael Bernal; Patrick F. Campos on Kidlat Tahimik; Clodualdo Del Mundo, Jr. on Manuel Silos, Eddie Romero, and Lamberto Avellana; Vicente Garcia Groyon on Peque Gallaga; Shirley O.

Tolentino on Lino Brocka; Noel Vera on Mario OHara; and Lito B. Zulueta on Brillante Ma. Mendoza.A compelling work, the first of its kind, it is filled with insight and critical provocation. The work is essential reading for all who are interested in film making in all its multiple aspects, and provides hitherto unavailable information on Philippine filmmakers and cinema. Review Direks are the most mysterious creatures who walk the land of film. This book will take you down that secret garden path that opens the door to unknown memories, secret information and long-held insights of the direks who made, and make Philippine cinema so great today!Philip Cheah, Film Critic, Advisory Board Member of NETPAC (Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinemas) Both intimate and informative, Direk paints the portraits of our greatest Filipino filmmakers that helped shape Philippine cinema to what it is today with such heart and respect.
