Ateneo Institute of Literary Arts and Practices (AILAP), Filipino Department (ADMU), and Critic Culture will host a lecture by Michael D. Pante titled"Funding the Filipino Film School." The lecture, a part of the Sine Bughaw Talks, is on Apr. 7, 2017, Friday, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m., at Faura Audio Visual Room, Ateneo de Manila University. The lecture is open to the public.
Pante's abstract reads: " From the late 1990s to the present, the use of the school as a mainstream filipino film became more presumed than in the previous decades. From sociological commentary (e.g., Moral, Batch '81)to movies focused on the teen market (e.g., Dear Diary, Wooly Booly, Hataw Na!, Use),as well as the current blend of indie cinema (e.g., Pistorius, Dance of Two Left Footy),can see the power of the school space to present themes such as consciousness, friendship, opposition to tradition and surveillance, love, and activism. This is an initial spelling interview to illustrate the relationship between the films mentioned inhistorical geographyof schools in Manila, particularly the cluster of two clusters of schools in the heart of Manila (U-belt) and in the former remote areas of Quezon City (Dark and Katipunan)."
