He received another Fulbright grant as an international senior research fellow at the U.S. Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. in 2001.
Deocampo authored and edited several books on cinema history. He is currently working on a five-volume history of Philippine cinema. Its first installment is Cine: Spanish Influences on Early Cinema in the Philippines (Manila: National Commission for Culture and the Arts, 2003), which won another National Book Award in 2003.

His contributions were honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences Awards (FAMAS), and a Lamberto Avellana Award from the Film Academy of the Philippines. His prizewinning film and video documentaries span more than thirty years, covering varied themes from life under the military dictatorship to film history and environment. His breakthrough film, Oliver (1983), is considered a classic in Philippine documentary. He is presently producing a ten-hour documentary series on the one-hundred year history of cinema in the Philippines, a series that already includes the colonial cycle in Philippine cinema, covering the Spanish, American and Japanese occupations.
