Get to know #WeAreIntramuros
Combining film artistry with appreciation of heritage and history, the Film Academy of the Philippines through its Chair, Liza Dino-Seguerra has partnered with the Intramuros Administration represented by its administrator Atty. Guiller Asido in launching #WeAreIntramuros, a 24-hour filmmaking challenge focusing cultural awareness on Filipino values.
“The activity is in line with the aim to encourage more young filmmakers to explore their creativity and craft. The challenge will surely need our filmmakers on their toes and make use of every resource and minute that they have. We look forward to seeing the types of films that they will be coming up with,” FDCP Chair Liza said.
“The objective is also to make Intramuros as a viable location for film or audiovisual production where they can use the historical backdrop of the place and other interesting venues within the perimeters of Intramuros to highlight their creativity,” she added.
The film projects can be of any topic as long as it is promoting the outstanding values of the Filipino people like hospitality, valuing family, hard work and resourcefulness.
