STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

UP CAST

The UP Cinema Arts Society (UP CAST) is an academic-based non-profit organization of film enthusiasts based in the College of Mass Communication, University of the Philippines - Diliman. Founded on August 24, 1990, our organization aspires to train members in the technical and aesthetic principles of film and video production, seeking to contribute to the growing consciousness of Philippine Cinema.

As we continue to pursue this aim, we have never abandoned our full-fledged commitment to promote and encourage the development of a critical Filipino film audience and future media practitioners of the country through our various projects.

UP CINEASTES’ STUDIO

UP Cineastes’ Studio is the first-ever student film organization in the country established in September 24, 1984, even older than the degree BAFilm. We are a non-stock, non-profit, duly recognized, university-wide student organization based in the College of Mass Communication that aims to serve the film community by promoting, awareness appreciation and understanding.

Through our efforts, we aim to create a critical and intelligent audience of cinema, as well as foster our members’ talents in the craft of filmmaking to contribute to the development of our medium of choice.

UP CINEMA

UP Cinema takes the film experience beyond the screen. Since its inception on February 25, 2004, this student organization founded by Charliebebs Gohetia, Dohna Sarmiento, Davene Venturanza and Nicole Arguelles, has always been fueled by its goal to mold its members into well-rounded filmmakers and media practitioners.

Aside from providing maximum exposure to the multi-faceted process of filmmaking, UP Cinema also provides a venue for film critiquing and promotes the Filipino filmmaker and Philippine cinema itself through various activities. All of these, to ensure it brings its members in between the takes, behind the lights, and alongside the camera where the real action happens.
