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 interact with any given film. Its aim is to survey the fundamental formal aspects of film, which constitute it as an art form. Furthermore, it seeks to introduce participants to the basic narrative, technical, and stylistic qualities and conventions of cinema, all considered within specific historical, cultural, and sociopolitical contexts.

The workshop facilitator, Patrick F. Campos, is a film/literary scholar, and a faculty member of the UP Film Institute, teaching courses such as Philippine Cinema, Language and Grammar of Film, Film Genres, and Film Theory and Criticism. He is currently the director of UPFI’s multimedia workshops. He is also an award-winning independent filmmaker, a freelance writer, and a musical scorer.

Writing About Film is part of the UPFI Extension program's thrust of developing film literacy among Filipino audiences and of invigorating Philippine film cultures. The workshop is open to all participants, who are pursuing careers in film and its allied media, who desire to eventually go into film studies, or who simply want to enrich their movie-watching experiences.

The UP Film Institute is the country's first and only degree-granting film school, and it is the home of the first and longest-running production workshop series in the Philippines. The UPFI is a member of the International Association Schools of Film & Television (CILECT).
