His special research interest is the interdisciplinary area of theology and cinema. His book Screening Schillebeeckx: Theology and Third Cinema in Dialogue (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006) explores the creative crossings between Edward Schillebeeckx’s conception of “political holiness” and cinemas of third world postcolonial liberation. His other publications include chapter contributions for Representing Religion in World Cinema: Filmmaking, Mythmaking, Culture Making (Palgrave Macmillan, 2004), Religion and Film Reader (Routledge, 2007), and Routledge Companion to Religion and Film (Routledge, 2009), among others. His current work includes essays on cinematic representations of biblical themes for Encyclopedia of the Bible and its Reception, an ongoing 30-volume project of Berlin-based publisher Verlag Walter de Gruyter.
Prior to his doctoral studies in the Netherlands from 2000-2004, Sison taught liberation theology at the Ateneo de Manila, Asia’s premier Jesuit university.
An independent digital filmmaker, Sison’s theological short film ICHTHUS (2006) was showcased at the2008 American Academy of Religion (AAR) annual conference held in Chicago, as well as at various academic circles and niche film festivals.
