As a way of paying homage to the golden era of the country's counter-stream cinema, a significant number of breakthrough short films now regarded as classics from some of the most celebrated names of the indie movement will be shown. Featured are films by Raymond Red, Joey Agbayani, Juan and Miguel Alcazaren, Patrick Purugganan, Noel Lim, Nonoy Dadivas, Louie Quirino, Larry Manda, Regiben Romana, Jon Red and Yam Laranas among others.
Lending indie spirit to this year's run-up to Valentine's Day is the US release, (500) Days of Summer (subject for confirmation) and two Philippine titles: Milo Sogueco's Sanglaan and Ellen Ramos and Paolo Villauna's Walang Hanggang Paalam.
FemLink–a worldwide collective of women video artists–presents some of the group's linked collages. FemLink coordinator Veronique Sapin is joined by Pinay video artist Vivian Limpin in a talk following the screening.
Completing UP Film Institute's line-up of screenings for February 2010 is an extensive series of films billed as "The Lives of Artists" featuring selected biopics of the greatest creatives: Caravaggio, Picasso, Warhol, Bacon and Arbus, among others.
Free admission to screenings of "Breakthrough Shorts" and "The Lives of Artists" series is in store for all UP students enrolled in Film courses upon presentation of their respective Form 5 and valid ID.
