Film and Tragic Love Story
LANTAW 2012 REACTION PAPER

Last January 10, 2013, I, together with my English 211 classmates watched the Lantaw 2012 Short-film festival. It’s my first time to watch a short-film here in USM since Lantaw is a yearly activity here in our school. I was really excited to watch those 5 short-films, especially the film “Salamin” from Ateneo de Davao University, who got first place in a certain event. I also enjoyed the 4 films, namely; Surat, Kulta, Ayuda, and Incognito.
In the film “Surat”, produced and directed by the 2 BSECE-A, I was really surprised because my friend, April Mae Tulang, is the lady protagonist in the film. It was a tragic love story between a teacher and a rebel. It was a nice film and story, but for me the ending is a bit predictable one, the guy died and the teacher became an old maid. Let’s go to the film “Kulta”, from 2 ABPolSci. This film is a tragic-family story. The story was based from the reality today. In the film, they were orphans, but still a happy family. Not until when the youngest of them got sick, and she really needed to get in the hospital. Because of being penniless, the oldest son took the risk of being a bomb carrier in exchange of money. It was a reality-based film. It’s just, I can’t understand what were they’re saying because there’s no subtitle in the movie. While in “Ayuda”, from 3ABEnglish, is one of the short-films that I’ve been enjoyed watching. I enjoyed this film simply because we can related based from the story! It’s a college love story. The cast of the film played each of their roles nice and easy. But we were wondering about the ending of the film. It was totally fuzzy why the guy holds a mini-knife. Will he take suicide? Or will he kill the antagonist? It’s very confusing. And the film which I mostly liked, the “Incognito”, which is from DevChem (students from Development Communications and Chemistry department) really amazed me. The main cast were so amazing in performing their different roles. And the

    Movies are a special tool that can keep one company when they are in a moody situation. It is a contrivance that is being used almost all over the world by different types of people for a particular purpose. There are diverse film genres like comedy, action, family, musical, and romance that are being produced each year in the twenty-first century but however, the twentieth century has contributed various types of classic films such as King Kong, Annie Hall, which can never be forgotten. One of most memorable, teenage romantic films of all time would have to go to Rebel without a Cause because it tells how the present day teenage love life is like, “a romance set among teenagers seeking satisfaction outside the traditional systems, misunderstood by their parents, misunderstanding and mistrusting of their parents' values” (Tomlinson par2). A movie that includes a variety of elements deserves being…

    We all watch films, and documentaries. Generally, we learn some things from them, but can we be sure what we learned is true, and objective? If the films compare and analyze the context (religion, language, etc.) well, we call these kinds of films as ‘ethnographic’ films. A simple question can be appeared in our minds: which films are the ethnographic films? We will try to find an answer to this question with discussing the intentions, the wholeness and the ethics of ethnographic film-making.…

    This program is particularly exciting because we’re premiering the work of an extraordinary filmmaker here in Portugal. This is the first time the films of Soon-Mi Yoo have been shown in this country, so this is a very important occasion. It’s also important because it’s taking place within the context of this program that ambitions to explore the work that pushes documentary as a mode of historical enquiry to its furthest extreme —this is particularly true in the films of Soon-Mi Yoo. Yoo comes to documentary through experimental and avant-garde cinema and her work is shaped by a poetic lyricism and a density that gives it a…

    I never asked my life to be a FAIRY TALE or PERFECT, all I wanted was a normal life, and I didn't have a very happy childhood living with my parents as an only child. As I was growing up all my life it revolved around men, every time I would fall in love with one, they would leave me after 3 months. I was beginning to feel like a hopeless romantic just like my mum when my dad had left her when I was beginning to experiment with love. I felt cursed. I kept asking myself “WHY, WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME??” All men are dogs! I am almost twenty one and I don’t know if the problem lies with me or my family, all I know is that I have given my parents so much problems and so much pain, I guess my life is a long journey and am finding myself in it everyday.…

    * 1. College of Arts and Letters Bulacan State University City of Malolos, Bulacan OJT NARRATIVE REPORT (For Television) I, Lady Lee, a broadcasting student from BAMC-4C, had completed a total of OneHundred Fifty (150) hours of office practicum with Technical Operations Division/ FilmArchives in ABS-CBN, Quezon City from April 03, 2012 to May 07, 2012. On the first day of my internship, I felt so nervous to commit mistakes because I was anewbie at that time and I also felt afraid mostly when I was having a conversation with thesuperiors. But in that moment I realized, I need to prove that I am firm, flexible and versatile inany kind of circumstances. And I often showed them my best to make them amazed. During my training days, I often practiced myself to wake-up early in the morning just tobe on-time and until now I am so proud to myself because I maintain it. And in line with this, Ialways did accomplish the activities of Film Archives very well; I did paper works andcompilation of films; I also experienced to answer phone calls, transcribe and rewind tapes; Andlastly, I would like to mention the most unforgetable and most tiring activities ,which happenedinside the big Vault of Film Archives, such as getting, returning and arranging of tapes/ films,researching and encoding Filmographic details, previewing of Filipino movies for assessment,monitoring of temperature and humidity at the archives vault and other office related activities.Then, at the end of the day, I will give myself enough time to rest to get ready for the next tiringday. Grueling yet enjoyable. Enjoyable because I knew these are the works that I may attain inthe near future. And I hope it may come true. As time went by, I learned to value intimacy and close-knit relationship together with myco-trainees and superiors. I learned principles of archiving. I learned to handle myresponsibilities as well as my accountability to the station. I also observed proper timemanagement and act with speed and…
