Scriptwriting Workshop this Saturday!

The UP Film Institute invites you to join the

BASIC SCRIPTWRITING WORKSHOP

Film viewing does not only give us momentary switches of emotions, but also allows us to explore our creativity, to engage in a fictional world and interact with characters who somehow serve as shadows of ourselves. Oftentimes, we find ourselves imagining our favorite characters in different situations; all the what-ifs and whatnots trail our creative minds. Sometimes we even wonder… what if we give life to the one character we have always been thinking about? Or play God and create new worlds? Or better yet, write a script that a filmmaker may actual translate on screen?

Basic Scriptwriting: Visualizing from Scratch
is a workshop intended for the absolute beginner, who has no background whatsoever in film, writing, or media, but who wants to discover the possibilities of scriptwriting. It introduces participants to the "real basics" of writing for film, from the "translation" of written-abstract concepts into visual-moving images (and vice versa – translation of perceived cinematic images into the written word), to a hands-on discovery of the essential concepts and components of a script that works.

The workshop facilitator, Libay Linsangan Cantor, is a faculty member of the UP Film Institute, teaching courses like Scriptwriting and Language and Grammar of Film. An experienced TV scriptwriter of children's educational shows, she has garnered local & international awards for her full-length screenplay, photography, and video productions, and has received a Palanca-award for her literary work. She also directs for TV.

Facilitator: Libay Linsangan Cantor
Dates: October 13, 20, 27, Nov. 3, & 10 (Saturdays)
Time: 1:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Venue: UPFI Cine Adarna Conference Room
Fee: P 6,000 inclusive of light snacks, handouts, and certificates.


For those who are interested, send SMS to 0917-5685939. We only have a couple of slots left so please make reservations the soonest possible. You may also accomplish the reservation form attached in this message then send it back upfi_workshops@yahoo.com.ph. Payments shall be made before the start of the workshop.
