The University of the Philippines Cineastes' Studio, commonly known as UP Cineastes' Studio or UP CINEASTES is a non-stock, non-profit, duly-recognized, university-wide student film organization based at the UP College of Mass Communication, University of the Philippines Diliman, committed to serve the film community and promote film awareness, appreciation and understanding, and as well as to other forms of artistic expression.〔(UP Film Institute )〕 It is the first film organization for students in the Philippines, established on September 24, 1984, preceding that of the film department of the College of Mass Communication. UP Cineastes was home to prominent figures in Philippine media such as directors Cathy Garcia-Molina, Joyce Bernal, broadcasters and television personalities Kim Atienza and Christine Bersola-Babao as well as Eraserheads frontman Ely Buendia. In recent years, the organization gained notability for being an integral part in the promotion of Philippine independent cinema to a larger audience, bringing the two largest independent film festivals Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival〔(PEP.ph )〕 and Cinema One Originals to the academic community. The organization's name is derived from the film term ''cineaste'', a word that comes from the 20th century French fusion of the words ''cinematographe'' and ''enthusiaste''. ==History== The UP Cineastes' Studio was formed on September 24, 1984. It started out as an organization just for film students of the University of the Philippines Diliman but later on expanded to include students from the College of Home Economics, College of Education, UP College of Engineering, UP College of Business Administration, and other UP Diliman colleges as well. Ever since its conception, UP Cineastes' Studio has been inclined in upholding the art of filmmaking, well known for its continuous film exhibitions in the past years, and for its tie-ups with the UP Film Institute in holding previous events such as the UP Film & Video Festival for independent amateur/professional filmmakers, the Black Beret Film Festival for student filmmakers, the staging of Russian Film Festival, Fade to Black, the 16mm Film Festival and It's A Wrap. In the past decade, the UP Cineastes' Studio has gained popularity among film enthusiasts for its ability to host large film events, due to its yearly staging of the university leg of the two of the largest independent film festivals in the country. Cinemalaya Goes UP, the UP Diliman leg of the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival, has been a tradition of its own in the northern part of Metro Manila, with viewers flocking the University of the Philippines Film Center in Diliman after the staging of the festival in the Cultural Center of the Philippines. UP Cineastes also successfully stages the Cinema One Originals Campus Tour, also held in the UP Film Center. Recently, the organization also presents various smaller film competitions sponsored by companies such as Maynilad Water Services〔FirstPost.com (World Water Day ThinkLiquid Short Film Competition )〕 and Hyundai.〔HyundaiSandSeaSky.com (Hyundai Short Film Festival Mechanics )〕 UP Cineastes also co-organizes premieres and special screenings of different independent films like Zombadings 1: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington and MNL 143. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UP Cineastes' Studio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
