The Japan Foundation Asia Center (hereafter the Asia Center) will hold the third edition of "…and Action! Asia: Exchange Program for Students in Film Studies" in the Philippines, in collaboration with the University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, and DLSU - College of St. Benilde. We call for entries for the program for students in film studies from Japan and Southeast Asian countries. We look forward to entries from many students of filmmaking.
With the development of digital technology, filmmaking has become an easier practice to pursue throughout the world resulting in a wide range of films being produced. However, opportunities for those studying film and younger filmmakers to work with their foreign counterparts are still limited. To provide students of film with such opportunities, the Asia Center will organize this exchange program that encourages the deepening of mutual understanding and fostering a new generation of filmmakers in the Asian countries. The exchange program welcomes students who are interested in achieving a greater understanding of filmmaking in other countries, expanding their networks, and using their experience for their studies and future careers.
This fiscal year, the program includes short film co-productions and their screening, discussions, and lectures by leading filmmakers. We believe the collaborative works and networks built through this program will lead to sustainable partnerships in film industries among Asian countries.
