After pioneering the country’s 1st online independent film festival last year, Globe studios, the film production arm of Globe Telecom, culminates its festival with an awarding to be held on April 6, 2017 at the Palace Pool club.
Innovating Philippine Cinema, Globe Studios launched an online independent film festival last September 2016 making it possible for Filmmakers to have their films featured online and reached by many. Pushing video content to any device with an internet connection, Filipinos were able to view film entries on demand.
The Globe Independent Film Festival (GIFF) opened the opportunity for Filipinos talent to produce film entries of 5 categories: Narrative, Documentary, Animated, Experimental, Music Video, and Webisode. Entries were judged by prestigious names in the Film industry, of these are Antoinette Jadaone, Bianca Gonzalez, Philbert Dy, and Sid Maderazo.
In celebration and in recognition of the filmmakers and their audience, the online film festival ends with an awards night to be held this thursday, 6pm, at the Palace Pool Club in BGC. To accompany the celebration are live performances by Moonwlk, Taken by Cards, Nanay Mo, and other local indie artists and bands.
