The Filmmakers' Guild of the University of the Philippines is a university-wide, inter-department film organization founded in 2011.
FGUP aims to promote film as a universal language, and hones the skills of its members through student-student mentorship and a production system that involves student productions as the organization's main projects. In line with its vision that anyone can be a filmmaker, FGUP has a diverse roster, with members coming from CMC, CSSP, CAL, CHE, CS, Eng'g, CSSP, ARKI, and CHK.
PRODUCTIONS
Installments of its flagship production, the Shadow Play series, have been official selections in several film festivals including: the Sacramento International Film Festival, the Student Film Festival University of the Philippines, FEU Video Open and Sining del Pilar, 2013 and 2014. It has also been exhibited in various programs.
FGUP continues to make short film productions apart from Shadow Play: In 2014, FGUP produced two short films: Mortem and Silhouette. In 2014-2015, UPFI films "Saudade" and "Man in the Cinema House" were produced in partnership with FGUP.
SCREENINGS
In the past two years, FGUP has made the UPFI Cine Adarna screening of several films possible through partnerships with the filmmakers. Screenings of the organization's own short film productions have also been conducted, gathering warm crowds and sterling reviews from renowned names in the film industry.
