Cineastes are aspiring visionaries, seeking social transformation through films. In service of Philippine cinema, we organize activities which bring the art of filmmaking closer to enthusiasts of all social types. Such activities include semestral film literacy workshops, film contests and conferences, production exposures, academic tie-ups, and an official publication (Splice Magazine). Within the past decade, we have successfully brought films from festivals such as Cinemalaya, Cinema One Originals, QCinema, and CineFilipino, as well as a wide roster of student short films closer to the student community.

<b> FILM LITERACY WORKSHOPS </b><br>

With our advocacy to further foster film education and camaraderie, U.P. Cineastes’ Studio regularly conducts workshops in various public and private high schools, and various communities. Through these workshops, student-participants enjoy lectures on filmmaking and hands-on activities based on a curriculum reviewed by the organization yearly. The students get to produce their own one-minute films at the end of the workshop.

<b> FILM PRODUCTION EXPOSURE </b><br>

As a family of filmmakers and film enthusiasts, we help each other make their dreams, films, and dream films come true. Through our collaborative work in our various student film productions, members gain hands-on-experience in filmmaking.

<b> GRAND FILM ORGY </b><br>

A well-loved tradition and the signature activity of the organization, “film orgies” gather members and film enthusiasts in a film viewing and critiquing session in an open venue to encourage critical discussion among participants. This event fosters camaraderie among students and filmmakers, bridging the gap between films and insight.<br />

<b> HAUTE AUTEUR </b><br>

Conceptualized in 2009, Haute Auteur is a silent video competition hosted by the organization. UP Cineastes' Studio invites everyone interested in films and filmmaking. The collection of videos will have a screening in a public venue wherein audiences from all walks of life will share a unique film viewing experience. To top it all off, each of the finalist’s films will be scored live by musicians during the awards night. As such, Haute Auteur continuously challenges budding filmmakers to go beyond and see how far sheer visuals can take them. As of A.Y. 2016-2017, Haute Auteur is being reevaluated in order to better cater to the needs of the film community.
