Call for submission of entries to CineIskool Short Film Lab is on
The forged partnership between the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) with Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and its attached agency, the Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education (UniFAST), is holding a Call for Entries to the recently launched film project for beneficiaries of the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act or Republic Act 10931.
CineIskool Short Film Lab and Festival is a visual showcase of diverse stories in the community that highlights the significance and benefit of free tertiary education. This project also aims to produce and exhibit films that will inspire the youth to take advantage of the different education assistance programs put together by the government for the youth’s empowerment.
The program consists of two components, a short film lab and a film festival. The short film lab program will choose 10 projects from a pool of applications that will each be given a grant worth P125,000 to produce a five-minute short film; P100,000 for production costs and P25,000 for safe filming protocols.
Each project will undergo online intensive film labs via Zoom, covering topics on Production Management, Story Development, Technical, Safe Filming, and Editing, mentored by award-winning filmmakers and producers in the industry.
After undergoing the intensive labs, the 10 projects will be recognized through a film festival.
