WRITING ABOUT FILMS

We watch films whenever we can, for whatever possible reason – for relaxing after exams, as itinerary for barkada gimmicks or romantic dates, for academic requirements, for experiencing aesthetic pleasures, or merely for killing time. But how much of a given film do we really see when we watch? And how do we really know which specific parts of the film moved us to tears, or to anger, or to fall in love? In any given film experience, is there more than meets the eye? Are there other things at work in our experiences apart from the obvious?

Writing About Film is a workshop that seeks to introduce participants to the aesthetics of film and to prepare them to analytically and critically interact with any given film.

The workshop facilitator, Patrick F. Campos, is a film/literary scholar, and a faculty member of the UP Film Institute. He is also an award-winning independent filmmaker, a freelance writer, and a musician.

REKORIDA

REKORIDA (pangngalan) : distansiyang nilalakbay o dinadaanan kapag palagiang naglalakbay (UP Diksyonaryong Filipino, 2001)

Elipsis.

Kinalimutan na nga ba sila ng panahon?

Ang penomena ng migrasyon at diaspora ay di na lingid sa atin, ang sapilitang paglisan sa kinalakihang bayan dahil sa kakulangan ng oportunidad at kakayahang mamuhay nang matiwasay. Patuloy ang paglaki ng bilang ng mga kababaihang migrante bilang sektor ng manggagawa, mapa-lalawigan-lungsod o Pilipinas-ibang bansa man. At isa sa mga isyung kinakaharap ng isang diasporic na kababaihang manggagawa ay ang kakulangan ng mga batas ng bayang pinagmulan/bayang pinatunguhan, upang siya ay mabigyan ng proteksyon—proteksyon para sa kanyang sarili, identidad, kasarian, kasanayan.

Bilang isang pagpupugay sa mga sakripisyo, tungggalian at karahasang dinaanan, karanasan at tagumpay ng mga kababaihang migrante at manlilikha, inihahandog ng UP Film Institute ang REKORIDA: Isang Eksibit Para Sa/Ng Mga Kababaihang Manlilikha , mula ika-10 hanggang ika-25 ng Marso 2008, sa Ishmael Bernal Gallery, UP Diliman, sa pamumuno ni Bb. Vivian N. Limpin, isang multdisiplinaryang manlilikha.

Halina’t tunghayan at makibahagi sa paghabi ng [ka]saysay[an] ng ating mga kababaihang manlilikha, patunay na hindi sila kailanman, kayang kalimutan ng espasyo at panahon. Ang mga mag-eeksibit ay sina:

Alena

Grace Javier Alfonso

Tina Basco

Carol Bello

Laya Boquiren

Anne Marie De Guzman

Rovie dela Cruz

Aileen Familara

Avie Felix

Vivian N. Limpin

Marie Frances Madrid

Teta Tulay

Magbubukas ang eksibit sa ika-10 ng Marso, ala-6 ng gabi, sa Ishmael Bernal Gallery, UP Diliman. Bukas para sa publiko.

Para sa mga katanungan, mangyaring tumawag sa UP Film Institute sa: 926.36.40, 926.27.22 (telefax), 981.85.00 loc. 4286. O mag-email sa: upfi.adarna@gmail.com.

UP Film Institute celebrates “Wandering, Wondering, Wonderful Women” at the 18th International Women Film Festival

UP Film Institute in cooperation with Microdata, BusinessWorld, Globe and GMA Network pay homage to varied wandering, wondering, wonderful women as the institute celebrates the 18^th International Women’s Film Festival at the Cine Adarna at the University of the Philippines-Diliman from the 10^th – 13^th of March 2008.

UP Film Institute recognizes and sympathizes with the pains, sacrifices, negotiations and the victories that the diasporic woman encounters as the growing trend of feminization of the labor force all over the world, with the Philippines as the widest exporter of human labor, continue to affect womanity.

The film festival will showcase the best feature and short films by/for women from different parts of the globe. A festival highlight is Malaysian full-length film, handpicked by the 18^th IWFF committee, Tan Chui Mui’s Love Conquers All, which bagged first prizes from Pusan, Rotterdam and Hong Kong film festivals.

Fora on women and migration, with lectures by women and gender-sensitive directors such as Joyce Bernal, Khryss Adalia and Cathy Garcia-Molina as a highlight, explore discourses on film as a diasporic experience, filming the diasporic experience and the diasporic nomadic woman.

For the festival launch night, in recognition of her legacy as THE CONTRAVIDA of Philippine movies, the sole Diwata awardee is the irreplaceable Ms. Bella Flores. Ms. Flores has appeared in more than 100 movies since her career began as a 16-year-old lass in the early 1950s. Even today, no one parallels her iconic looks and acting wit.

Crafting the Diwata trophy is well-known sculptor, Ms. Lia Torralba, who blends together the images of leaf, woman, moon and vessel into her work.

Also for the launch night, to celebrate the role of young women artists and activists in promoting equity and equality for women UP Diliman University Student Council Chair (incoming Student Regent) Ms. Shahana Abdulwahid gives more significance to the festival with inspirational remarks. UP Open University Chancellor Grace Javier Alfonso and UPFI Director Anne Marie de Guzman provide the festival overview.

To complete the line up of events for the festival, women artists mount a multi-media exhibit entitled Rekorida at the Ishmael Bernal Gallery from March 10 to 25, to be curated by woman multidisciplinary artist Vivian N. Limpin.

The Festival is also presented by the University Student Council (UP Diliman), Quezon City Gender and Development Office, Trade Union Congress of the Philippines, Democratic Socialist Women of the Philippines, Center for Community Journalism and Development, Rep. Liza Masa (Gabriela Women’s Party), F177 Women in Cinema class of the UPFI, University Center for Women’s Studies, Embassy of Spain, Embassy of Israel, and the Environmental Broadcast Circle.
