==History==
----

The UP Cineastes' Studio was formed on September 24, 1984. It started out as an organization just for film students of the University of the Philippines Diliman. But later on, it expanded to include students from the College of Home Economics, College of Education, College of Engineering, College of Business Administration, and other UP Diliman colleges as well.


Ever since its conception, UP Cineastes' Studio has been upholding the art of filmmaking. The organization is well-known for its continuous film exhibitions in the past years, and now for its tie-ups with the UP Film Institute in holding events such as the UP Film & Video Festival for independent amateur/professional filmmakers, the Black Beret Film Festival for student filmmakers, Russian Film Festival, Fade to Black, the 16mm Film Festival and It’s A Wrap.
U.P. Cineastes' Studio (pronounced as si-ne-yasts), is the first film organization for students in the Philippines, established on September 24, 1984, preceding that of the film department of the [[College of Mass Communication]]. It started out as an organization just for film students of the [[University of the Philippines Diliman]]. But later on, it expanded to include students from other colleges as well.


The goal of the organization has always been to uphold cinema, particularly local cinema. Also to initiate activities that would elevate the knowledge and craftsmanship in our field of endeavor, and to promote fellowship among film students. And through the years, it can be said that the UP Cineastes' Studio has been steadfast in realizing these goals. In so doing, the organization is now considered an instrumental factor in the continuous promotion of film appreciation and awareness in the UP Diliman community.
As the premier student film organization in the country, it is our primary goal to be steadfast in promoting film appreciation and literacy. For 34 years, we have consistently upheld avenues for creative expression, cultural awareness and understanding, as well as camaraderie among film enthusiasts. By organizing screenings, film orgies, contests, film festivals, production exposures, workshops, and academic tie-ups, Cineastes commits all these contributions in support of Philippine cinema – now at its centennial celebration – and the functions it serves in Philippine society.


==Officers==
In recent years, the organization gained notability for being an integral part in the promotion of Philippine independent cinema to a larger audience, bringing the two largest independent film festivals Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival and Cinema One Originals to the academic community.
 
UP Cineastes' Studio was home to prominent figures in Philippine media such as directors Cathy Garcia-Molina, Joyce Bernal, broadcasters and television personalities Kim Atienza and Christine Bersola-Babao, as well as Eraserheads and Pupil frontman Ely Buendia.

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.

[[Image:Cinemalaya Audience.jpg | thumb| 300px| Cinemalaya Goes UP 7 Audience]]
Bringing the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival, or simply, Cinemalaya, to its student audience has been a tradition of our organization for past six consecutive years. In partnership with the University of the Philippines Film Institute, we are proud to be able to bring this back for the seventh year around, continuing the tradition of unrivaled dedication on our advocacy to cultivate and to make known the Filipino independent cinema.<br />

==== Grand Film Orgy ====
Film orgies are a well-loved tradition of the org. Every so often, members gather and watch a film, shortly after being screened, a discussion about the film is begun. Through film orgies, members and friends are able to analyze films at a more casual level.
During the Grand Film Orgy, we invite alumni of the org to come and participate. This allows fellowship among both students and practitioners, whereby intense learning takes place as insight is given and received from the industry.<br />


==== D’Original Jologs Quiz Show ====
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 />
Reminiscing has never gotten as crazy and as fun as when done in the D’Original Jologs Quiz Show way. Actors, actresses, name of episode titles, events, anything under the sun of past Philippine entertainment TV and films, JQS is here to make you remember as you play to win a “kabuhayan showcase”. <br />

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

UP Cineastes' Studio Logo

The University of the Philippines Cineastes' Studio, commonly known as UP Cineastes' Studio or UP Cineastes, is a non-stock, non-profit, duly-recognized, university-wide student film organization based at the UP College of Mass Communication, University of the Philippines, Diliman, committed to serve the film community and promote film awareness, appreciation and understanding, and as well as to other forms of artistic expression.

UP Cineastes' Studio is active in promoting literacy in film and other arts through workshops, publications, contests, screenings, thesis exposures, and academic tie-ups. Throughout the years, it has gained recognition as the first and premiere student film organization in the country.

Cineastes

The organization's name is derived from the film term "cineaste", a word that comes from the 20th century French fusion of the words "cinematographe" and "enthusiaste". Today, the modern English term has become "cineaste", short for cinema enthusiast.

History

U.P. Cineastes' Studio (pronounced as si-ne-yasts), is the first film organization for students in the Philippines, established on September 24, 1984, preceding that of the film department of the College of Mass Communication. It started out as an organization just for film students of the University of the Philippines, Diliman. But later on, it expanded to include students from other colleges as well.

As the premier student film organization in the country, it is our primary goal to be steadfast in promoting film appreciation and literacy. For 34 years, we have consistently upheld avenues for creative expression, cultural awareness and understanding, as well as camaraderie among film enthusiasts. By organizing screenings, film orgies, contests, film festivals, production exposures, workshops, and academic tie-ups, Cineastes commits all these contributions in support of Philippine cinema – now at its centennial celebration – and the functions it serves in Philippine society.

In recent years, the organization gained notability for being an integral part in the promotion of Philippine independent cinema to a larger audience, bringing the two largest independent film festivals Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival and Cinema One Originals to the academic community.

UP Cineastes' Studio was home to prominent figures in Philippine media such as directors Cathy Garcia-Molina, Joyce Bernal, broadcasters and television personalities Kim Atienza and Christine Bersola-Babao, as well as Eraserheads and Pupil frontman Ely Buendia.

An anticipated University event on its own, D’ Original Jologs Quiz Show plays tribute to Philippine pop culture. Awards and prizes await the teams who will triumph in a quiz show which covers local films, music, television shows, celebrities, and other popular media. Previously open only to UP Diliman students, participation in the quiz show was opened to the general public in recent years.

FILM CONFERENCE

Our annual film conference offers insights on current trends in Philippine Cinema from some of the very filmmakers who contribute to it. Free of charge and open to the public, this conference seeks to hold substantial discourse about the various areas of concern within Philippine cinema today.

FILM LITERACY WORKSHOPS

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.

FILM PRODUCTION EXPOSURE

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.

GRAND FILM ORGY

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.

HAUTE AUTEUR

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.


Splice Magazine

The official publication of the UP Cineastes' Studio, Splice Magazine is a film magazine that aims to splice together the reel and the real. It strives to emphasize the role of film in society through articles, reviews, and creative works of art.

Splice has previously featured filmmakers such as Sari Dalena, Jade Castro, Joyce Bernal, Ely Buendia, Sari Estrada, Carlo Manatad, and Ricky Lee in its cover articles.
