2008-09-15T15:51:00.001-07:00

A young filmmaker hitting the big time, a low budget digital film turning into a cult classic, and a successful world class film festival in a third world country--these things do not only happen in the movies. Because beginning September 30 to October 4, 2008 at Robinsons Movieworld, Robinsons Galleria, .MOV (dot-mov) - the first digital film festival in the country – will pixelate your digital dreams with new films, new filmmakers, and new technology. The week-long festival will showcase innovative films from independent filmmakers both from the local and international arena through a series of events and screenings starting with Digital Dekalogo: 10x10, an exhibition of ten of the best foreign digital features explained through the expert eyes of ten local fillmmakers.

The inaugural event will be followed by Shorts.MOV, a showcase of the best digital short films in the world from the two most prestigious international short film festivals, Clemont-Ferrand (France) and Oberhausen (Germany), as well as the Silvershorts, a short film competition for students and professionals. Also, a special programming of rare, out-of-print Filipino classic films scored live by the country's most recognized independent bands like Radioactive Sago Project, Pedicab, and Queso, will be featured for a digital twist that underscores the festival's aim to showcase film's ever changing language. Another highlight, cineastes would look forward to is .MOV's tribute to local filmmaking mavericks – Lav Diaz, Roxlee and Kidlat Tahimik - with a book, CD and DVD launch plus premieres of “Melancholia”, “Roxleetrospective”, and “Maikli at Tahimik” (“Short & Silent”).

.MOV will have workshops led by world-renowned industry experts as well as a young critics' initiative that focuses on teaching how to write about films by tackling a new wave of criticism, retrospection, and commentary on films to help artists to interface with the international community.

With this slew of a variety of digital features and short films from around the world, exclusive enriching activities that covers all facets of digital filmmaking and a mix of local and international talents in one festival, maybe what they say really is true - it doesn't happen in the movies, it happens in .MOV.
