For too long, short films have remained the forgotten art form; a consistently underrated medium that has never been given the exposure it demands. Even with the emerging popularity of independent films in the Philippines, short films are still seen as "front acts" for full-length features or "sidebars" at local film festivals.

The Katorse Writers' Group, a group of young writer-filmmakers who were part of Ricky Lee's 14th Scriptwriting Workshop, addresses this problem by coming up with a full program of short films to be screened at Robinson's Galleria Indie Sine.

On June 11-17, KATORSE SHORTS will showcase 7 short films with themes ranging from the romantic to the absurd to the tragic - a program that is meant to bring to the consciousness of Filipino audiences the short film as a form that can hold its own.

Katorseshorts line-up:

Ang Kapalaran ni Virgin Mario by Ogi Sugatan
Ambulancia by Richard Legaspi
Manyika by John Wong
Puwang by Anna Isabelle Matutina
Dead Letter by Grace Orbon
Lababo by Seymour Barros-Sanchez
Walong Linggo by Anna Isabelle Matutina

im an aspiring director and editor as well, guys pano ba sumali sa mga organization pag film ang pag uusapan im 2nd year college taking ABCOMMUNICATION here in LIPA pls. help me.

[isabellematutina]

actually, our group was formed because we were all participants in ricky lee's scriptwriting workshop (automatically making us part of writer's studio) and we eventually formed the group from our batch. it's not really a formal org. if you wanna join an org, there's IFC - but it is more of a cooperative where a lot of filmmaker's groups are involved.

[isabellematutina]

if there is a film org in your college, it would be a great idea to join one. if there is none, then perhaps it's time you start one - just so you can foster a film community in your place. that's how most things start. find people who are as passionate and as enthusiastic about film. this would also help in decentralizing the film scene from manila. we need more regional filmmakers here in the phils.

good luck! :)
