CINEMALAYA FILM CONGRESS 2007
24-25 July 2007 * CCP Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino

Theme : HARNESSING TECHNOLOGY FOR ARTISTIC EXPRESSION

Rationale : Since 2001, the relatively inexpensive
technology of digital video filmmaking has inspired and enabled a
new generation of film artists to create films imbued with a robust
spirit of independence and originality. Fortunately, the rise of a
new group of enlightened film producers as well as the establishment
of competitions and festivals for the independent film, such as
those of Cinemalaya, Cinema One and Cine Manila, have served to
further bolster and promote the achievements of an exciting breed of
young filmmakers.

But much work remains to be done. For one,
the masterful handling of the new DV technology is a goal that many
filmmakers continue to work for. For another, the rapid development
of technology related to filmmaking demands vigilance and unflagging
attention from filmmakers, who need to be continuously updated about
the latest technology and to learn how to use such technology.

In response to these needs, the Cinemalaya
Congress 2007 intends to focus on the intimate and inextricable
relations between technology and art in filmmaking. Five panels
composed of film artists, technicians and businessmen will
illustrate, articulate and elaborate on these relations and show how
technology can indeed be harnessed for artistic expression in the
cinema.

Objectives: The Cinemalaya Congress 2007 has set the following
objectives for its two-day conference:

1. To evaluate the achievements of selected Cinemalaya 2005 and
2006 films, especially from the point of view of how they have
succeeded in using DV technology for artistic expression;

2. To inform filmmakers about the most recent and most
significant developments in film technology, which can widen or
strengthen or refine their ability to express themselves as film
artists; and

3. To formulate alternative distribution systems for a long-
term marketing and distribution of independent films both here and
abroad.
