Paul Emmanuel Enicola

Paul Emmanuel Enicola is a Filipino film critic, cultural writer, and editor whose work spans print and digital platforms across Asia and North America. A member of The International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) and Society of Filipino Film Reviewers (SFFR), he contributes regularly to The Asian Cut, The Movie Buff, and other outlets, with bylines covering major international festivals such as Sundance, Toronto, Tribeca, Santa Barbara, and imagineNATIVE.

His published criticism centers on the intersection of cinema, identity, and transnational storytelling, with a strong focus on diasporic narratives, cultural memory, postcolonial critique, and the emotional texture of human relationships onscreen. As one of the few Filipino film critics approved by Rotten Tomatoes, Paul offers a perspective rooted in Southeast Asian sensibilities while remaining attuned to broader global movements in cinema. He is also a Substack essayist, where he explores how form, tone, and authorship shape the emotional impact of both contemporary and classic films.

With a growing profile in the international film circuit, Paul has participated in press and industry events worldwide and is passionate about elevating underrepresented voices in global cinema.
