As the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) furthers its programs to uplift the industry with a wider reach, FDCP’s Film Industry Conference (FIC) expands as the International Film Industry Conference (IFIC). In its fifth year, the IFIC continues its aim to bring together international and local experts to share and discuss the latest trends, opportunities, platforms, and cooperation globally that producers and filmmakers can explore for the development, production, and distribution of their projects with the intent of crossing beyond local borders.
Following its success with amassing around 2000 attendees as it shifted to an online platform in 2020, the IFIC strives to provide a platform to continue the synergy of the industry by featuring experts and professionals even online this 16 – 19 September 2021. This event will give a platform to further explore opportunities, challenges, and new norms in the film industry as we push and thrive to move forward in a global pandemic.
SEAPAVAA’s President, Karen Chan, will be presenting at the IFIC on 19 September 2021, 2:00 PM – 3:10 PM (Philippine Time, UTC+8). Joining Karen on the panel titled, “Preserving for the Future with Film Archiving”, are Leo Katigbak (ABS-CBN Film Restoration), Don Gervin Arawan (Philippine Film Archive), and Tina Tubongbanua (Viva Communications).
Their panel will discuss the advancements in film archiving and restoration that brought about significant changes and opportunities to save and preserve more film and audiovisual content. Participants will learn directly from the representatives of film archive organizations on their programs and efforts to ensure the survival and preservation of our local and regional film heritage.
