UP Film Institute this February 2010

The arts and culture month in UP Diliman assumes a festive mood with UP Film Institute’s screenings this February.

As a way of paying homage to the golden era of the country’s counter-stream cinema, a significant number of breakthrough short films regarded now as classics from some of the most celebrated names of the indie movement will be shown. Featured are films by Raymond Red, Joey Agbayani, Juan and Miguel Alcazaren, Patrick Purugganan, Noel Lim, Nonoy Dadivas, Louie Quirino, Larry Manda, Regiben Romana, Jon Red, Yam Laranas among others.

Lending indie spirit to this year’s run-up to Valentine’s Day are the US release, “(500) Days of Summer” (subject to confirmation) and two Philippine titles: Milo Sogueco’s “Sanglaan”—Double Prize Winner in Lyon, France and Ellen Ramos and Paolo Villauna’s “Walang Hanggang Paalam”—Official Selection at SoHo International Film Festival NYC 2010.

FemLink—a worldwide collective of women video artists—presents some of the group’s linked collages. FemLink coordinator Veronique Sapin is joined by Pinay video artist Vivian Limpin in a talk to follow the screening.

Completing UP Film Institute’s line-up of screenings for February 2010 is an extensive series of films billed as “The Lives of Artists” featuring selected biopics of the greatest creative heroes the world has come to know.

Free admission to screenings of breakthrough shorts and “The Lives of Artists” series is in store for all UP students enrolled in film courses under the UP College of Mass Communication upon presentation of their respective Form 5 and valid ID.
