"In this presentation I contextualise P. Ramlee’s classic film Ibu Mertuaku (1963) within the Malay cinema of the 1940s-1960s and the star system that emerged at this time. While the Malay stars of this era possessed features common to film stardom in other cinematic contexts, here I focus in particular on some of the features that set these stars apart from those who emerged in other parts of the world. The presentation includes a summary of some of the main aspects of P. Ramlee’s stardom and of his role in Ibu Mertuaku." -- Dr. Jonathan Driskell, Senior Lecturer in Film, Television and Screen Studies from the School of Arts and Social Sciences.

"The conversation will cover an introduction on Philippine stardom and love teams, and explore the star images of John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo along with an introduction to the Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) film. And what is Hans Isaac doing in this film?" -- Dr. Chrishandra Sebastiampillai, Lecturer in Film, Television and Screen Studies from the School of Arts and Social Sciences.
