Carolinians win grand prize in Sinulog short film contest
A group consisting mostly of fresh graduates from the Department of Fine Arts bagged this year’s grand prize in the Sinulog Short Film Competition.
Eight Thumbs, a collective of young independent filmmakers, most of whom used to be classmates in USC, teamed up to produce “Sinug”, an experimental short documentary that features striking motion graphics.
Directed by Remton Zuasola, the film investigates how the original native dance of devotion was distorted when “Sinug” became a major public festival called the “Sinulog”.
Zuasola and his group received a cash prize of P30,000 and a trophy. Their video bested over a dozen entries that included works of Manila-based filmmakers and a Frenchman.
When not busy doing commercial projects, Zuasola and his group organizes film workshops and produce short films.
