LINGAYEN, Pangasinan—To establish Pangasinan as a preeminent creative hub of the country, the Provincial Government of Pangasinan (PGP) will hold the first-ever film festival in Pangasinan.
Dubbed ‘PangaSINE Film Festival 2024,’ the activity will
serve as one of the highlights of Pista’y Dayat (Sea Festival) this year.
As an initial step, Governor Ramon V. Guico III will sign a
contract agreement with Mr. Narciso N. Santos, Jr., for the conduct of the
activity.
A resolution was authored by Sangguniang Panlalawigan Member
Marinor B. de Guzman and approved by the august body on March 12.
“For this year’s celebration of the Pista’y Dayat, Mr.
Narciso N. Santos, Jr., shall be the strategic partner of the Provincial
Government of Pangasinan in the presentation of PangaSINE 2024: Official Film
Festival of the Province of Pangasinan, with its festival theme: “Pangasinan
Through the Lens of the Pangasinense,” the resolution partly stated.
Film-making workshops will be held primarily to encourage
creativity through filmmaking, discover and nurture Pangasinenses to have the
talent and skill in filmmaking, and produce meaningful and quality films that
are exclusively made in Pangasinan.
Based on the project proposal presented by Pangasinan
Information and Media Relations Officer Dhobie P. de Guzman, the event hopes
to “source, curate, and exhibit 10 outstanding short films by homegrown
filmmakers; conduct short courses (for students or individuals) in story
writing, screen/scriptwriting, producing, directing, cinematography/principal
photography, sound editing and design, film/video editing, and film
appreciation.”
There are four essential elements the festival hopes to see.
These are as follows: 1) narratives from the past that greatly influenced the
present-day Pangasinense; 2) the vibrant and ever-changing culture of
Pangasinan today; 3) storytelling techniques that fuse the traditional and
modern; 4) the hopes, dreams, triumphs, and challenges of the modern
Pangasinense, particularly of the youth.
