During the closing years of martial rule, a number of films defiant of the Marcos dictatorship were made. Films such as Marilou Diaz-Abaya’s "Karnal" implicitly depicted this defiance in the film's plot, wherein patricide ended a tyrannical father's domination. In the same year, Mike de Leon's "Sister Stella L.", a movie about oppression and tyranny was shown on the big screen. In 1985, Lino Brocka's " (My Country: GTip the Knife's Edge)" depicted images of torture, incarceration, struggles and oppression. During this period, the Philippines ranked among the top 10 film-producing countries in the world, with an annual output of more than 300 movies.
