It's finally coming - the premiere of our special collaborative project, MUSE, will premiere today at 3:00PM (GMT +8). Through the support of famed veteran fashion designer, Dexter Alazas, the ASSEMBLAGE Art Festival and the permission of Route 83, Warner Music Philippines and Alexander Lim, we shot an unofficial music video with our students combining art, fashion, music, film and visual effects to present the story of the Artist, his Muse and how inspiration can come from even your darkest moments.

This video was shot on campus in Film & Media Arts International Academy on 14 February 2020.

A Message from the DGPI Board of Directors

We are a country with a sad history of impunity and abuse of power.

But we are also a nation of artists, poets, provocateurs and storyteller; it is a cultural gift shared across the world.

Part of the filmmaker’s role is to raise a mirror to society — be it in the form of entertainment or visual poetry. The mirror of cinema is a critical reflection of our society’s triumphs and ills.

As we celebrate Philippine Independence Day, let us be reminded of our role in society as storytellers:

We must continue to tell our truths.

A pandemic rages.
Free expression is struggling.
Terror is ushered in.

Yet like all good stories, heroes only win when they actually fight.

BE A HERO, DEAR FILMMAKER.
