The dupe negative of the last surviving Filipino film on nitrate, Ibong Adarna (Adarna Bird, dir. Vicente Salumbides and Manuel Conde, 1941), was destroyed shortly after its 2005 restoration.\r\n \r\n Drawing on postcolonial historiography, archival theory, and the on-the-ground realities of the Philippines\u2019 decentralized audiovisual archive advocacy, this talk examines three issues that emerge as keywords for the crises of moving image preservation in the Philippines. First, archival silences, which comprise not only the \u201clost films\u201d of Philippine cinema but also the absences that are constitutive of the production of historical narratives. Second, archival power, which names dynamics of inclusion\/exclusion in the production of historical narratives, as well as archival practices of appraisal that institutionalize a minute percentage of extant records. Finally, activism, advocacy, and \u201cmaking do\u201d \u2014 creative workarounds that have emerged to ensure the archival survival of Philippine cinema \u2014 are also expressions of archival power. In response to my research request for access copies of 16mm propaganda films made in 1971-72, on the eve of the Marcos dictatorship\u2019s declaration of Martial Law (PFM\u2019s Declaration of Martial Law and From a Season of Strife), a handful of archivists from the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and the Society of Filipino Archivists for Film (SOFIA) collaborated to produce rushed digital access copies of these films in 2015. The result of our collective efforts were undoubtedly poor images. Yet the makeshift digitization itself exemplified non-idealized archival practices of making do (paggawa ng paraan) that marshal meager resources to buy time and keep things going. Given that the histories of prior state film archives\u2019 collapse caution against the costs of inaction, perseverance and making-do in order to ensure access are striking traits of Philippine archiving cultures called-forth by conditions of archival fragility.\r\n \r\n Bliss Cua Lim is Professor of Cinema Studies at the University of Toronto.
