The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) will hold the First Davao City Sineng Pambansa Local Film Workshop Series at the Davao City Doctor’s College from October 17 to 21. The film workshop project is under the Audiovisual Development program of the FDCP. In Davao, it is being jointly sponsored with the city government of Davao, and the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc.
The Davao workshops are part of an ongoing series organized by the FDCP for the benefit of aspiring Filipino filmmakers interested in making feature films, documentaries, and short animated works, and are conducted by some of the country’s leading independent filmmakers. The workshop modules for Davao include: Introduction to Writing for Film by Raymond Lee (Oct 17-18), Introduction to Basic Filmmaking by Sherad Anthony Sanchez (Oct 19-20), and Introduction to Basic Photography and Cinematography by Dix Buhay and Boy Yñiguez (Oct 17-21).
The Davao series will be the longest filmmaking workshops to be held by the FDCP, and has attracted at least five hundred participants. The first workshops held this year were one-day events held in conjunction with local film festivals organized by the FDCP in the cities of Iloilo, Zamboanga, Baguio, San Fernando in Pampanga, and Marawi. These workshops were conducted by filmmakers Raymond Red and Jim Libiran in Iloilo, Marge Templo and Ato Bautista in Zamboanga, Mes de Guzman in Baguio, Francis Pasion in San Fernando (Pampanga), and Sherad Anthony Sanchez in Marawi (Lanao del Sur).
The FDCP Audiovisual Development program’s Local Film Workshop Series aims to introduce students of film and communication studies to the basics of filmmaking through workshops which consist of a two- to three-hour lecture on a particular topic, with another three hours devoted to a series of application or practical exercises which will help the student propose a small feasibility project for a film, based on what has been learned during the lecture. The topics for the workshop generally include Introduction to Basic Filmmaking, Introduction to Scriptwriting, Cinematography, Lighting, Musical Scoring and Sound, Production, Directing, Non-Linear Editing and Animation.
The Film Development Council of the Philippines, through its Sineng Pambansa or National Cinema flagship program, has been actively implementing its three-pronged mission: to revitalize the Filipino film industry by encouraging creativity and supporting quality film production; to promote the works of Filipino filmmakers by way of national and international film festivals; and to foster deeper pride in Filipino culture and awareness of national identity through the cinematic arts.
