Workshops in Film Incentives (WIFI) is a live, in-depth instructional and discussion open to film and audiovisual sector professionals. The event discusses the guidelines, mechanics, and timetables needed to know in availing the FilmPhilippines Incentives: the Film Location Incentive Program (FLIP) and the International Co-Production Fund (ICOF).
Initially scheduled for April and postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the expanded edition of Full Circle Lab Philippines will take place in September, from September 15 to 30 through an online platform. The international film development program is a collaboration between FDCP and Tatino Films.
Amid the nationwide quarantine and the continued thriving of online streaming platforms, FDCP has partnered up with The Manila Times Broadcasting Corporation to provide an online exhibition platform for the Philippine film industry. The program, ‘Sine Sandaan on The Manila Times TV’ runs alongside the centennial year celebration of Philippine cinema and will launch on September 18. The partnership will feature FDCP co-produced films on The Manila Times’ online streaming platform.
FDCP launched the online #SineWikainChallenge in August celebrating the ‘Buwan ng Wika’ and has opened up submissions for the social media challenge. Submissions are open till September 20. Under #SineWikainChallenge, participants will creatively interpret various salawikains into brief vertical short films to be posted on social media.
To officially close the Philippine Cinema Centennial, FDCP will host and stream this 2-hour virtual event that encapsulates our aspirations for the future of Philippine Cinema. Featuring performances from a powerhouse of top artists including Lani Misalucha, Gary V, Martin Nievera, Lea Salonga, The Company, Acapelago, and Robert and Isay Alvarez, the industry will push forward to reaching greater heights, exploring uncharted film territories, and crossing borders.
