.MOV int'l digital filmfest wraps up Luzon campus tour
* Digital movie festival set in Cebu on December 1-7
THE .MOV campus tour concluded its Luzon run with a "Symposium on Digital Filmmaking in the Philippines" and screenings of Silvershorts 2002 winners at the Pablo Nicolas Auditorium in De La Salle University (DLSU) along Taft Avenue last October 29.
The event is part of the promotional activities for the second .MOV International Digital Film Festival to be held at SM City Cebu from December 1 to 7.
The digital film festival, which aims to promote and advance digital filmmaking in the Philippines and to establish it as the future of Philippine cinema, intends to reach out to more students, professors, film practitioners, filmmakers, and cineastes nationwide.
Aside from DLSU, the .MOV team also held digital filmmaking seminars and short film screenings in other campuses in Metro Manila, namely, Miriam College, University of Santos Tomas (UST), Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU), DLSU-College of St. Benilde, and University of the Philippines, Diliman.
As part of its information campaign, the .MOV group also went to other colleges and universities nationwide to promote the festival and encourage students to join Smart Cuts, the newly launched 60-second short film competition sponsored by leading wireless services provider Smart Communications Inc.
Organized by Filmless Films, an independent digital production company, .MOV showcases innovative full-length and short films from local and international independent filmmakers, empowered by new digital production tools such as digital video cameras, non-linear editing systems, digital audio, and visual effects software.
The first .MOV took place last January 2002 at Greenbelt and Brash Young Cinema in Makati City and at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Dream Theater (Tanghalang Manuel Conde).
The .MOV campus tour will resume in Cebu and Dumaguete colleges and universities this month.
