Movies like Heneral Luna changed the way how audiences think
and how our local movie industry produces movies. It trended and made an impact
both positively and negatively in a constructive manner.
The Film Development Council of the Philippines partnered
with the National Historical Commission to launch Sinesaysay, a movie contest
that focuses on our history. The contest will be open for submission from
December 2017 to February 2018.
What’s good about this contest is the winning entry will be
given grant to create a full length movie and it will be shown in
schools and general audiences for educational as well as entertainment
purposes.
I met Mr. Alvin Alcid, Chief Historical Researcher of NHCP when Ballet Philippines produced Ibarra at Simoun. We need more movies like these to make us all more interested in history so our students won’t be as
clueless about our local history like why Apolinario Mabini was seated all the
time. More details on Manual To Lyf blog. For more updates, follow this blog and like L.E.N.S. blogs on Facebook.
