Cinema Classics presents the restored version of "Hihintayin Kita Sa Langit"


Philippine cinema will never be complete without classic films from the past. It is very important that we look back to these films from the yesteryear because these movies served as the foundation for today's cinema. This is why we are very grateful for the ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project, a joint project of ABS-CBN Corporation and Central Digital Lab. The digital film restoration project is spearheaded by Leo Katigbak of ABS-CBN Film Archives and Manet Dayrit of Central Digital Lab and aims to digitally restore and have already successfully digitized, restored, and remastered over one hundred (100) films into a Digital Cinema Package format with a maximum pixel resolution of 1080p at 24 frames per second. These films are now being made available for today's audiences through limited theatrical runs, film festivals, free-to-air and cable television, DVDs, pay per view, and other over-the-top content platforms such as iTunes.


And last February 27, 2017, they kicked off their latest line-up of classic restored films with the 1991 Carlos Siguion-Reyna romantic-drama Hihintayin Kita Sa Langit starring Dawn Zulueta and Richard Gomez. The uncut original 35mm picture negative taken from the storage of the producer, ReynaFilms, was used as the source for the said restoration. The digitally restored and remastered film had it's special premiere night at Glorietta 4 where the stars of the film were also present. Aside from the film's two leads, the other actors and actresses from the 1991 classic were also present in the event, like Eric Quizon and Vangie Labanan. Director Carlos Siguion-Reyna also shared some of their fondest memories from the film's production, which was an updated adaptation of the Emily Bronte novel, Wuthering Heights.
