Please check if you are affected by this.

We regret to inform students enrolled in the following courses (see table below) that, as much as UPFI defended and justified for these classes to remain open, your classes were recommended to be DISSOLVED by higher offices.

Those who are enrolled in specific subjects, you can transfer to any of the other options available here, as follows. Please be guided accordingly.


FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO RE-ENLIST IN OTHER SUBJECTS:

-- Please approach the UPFI Academic Coordinator or the
    Academic Division secretary (Fortune) to re-enlist.

-- Film majors who want to transfer to other film courses
                         could do so.  All courses are now reopened
                         for overbooking.  Make sure you meet the
                         prereq of the course, though.

-- Non-film majors who want to transfer to other film courses
                               open to non-majors could do so.
                               All courses are now reopened for
                               overbooking.

-- See the CRS listing of available courses for this sem.
    Even if there are no more slots in a particular course/section
    you want, we could enlist you there due to this unforeseen
    and certainly unplanned dilemma.

If you want to fix your sked because of these changes, please see the UPFI Academic Coordinator anytime this week. We will entertain re-enlistments/add mats/ change mats until June 30 only.

If you want to lodge complaints or ask for your status on how this will affect you and other acad things or if you want to ask for endorsement letters if needed, please go to the CMC Office of the College Secretary who could help you with your individual dilemmas.

1.  Film 110 Basic Photography FWX Fri 1-4PM

And the winner is...Up to you!

You have until June 15 to cast your votes. Six video producers - one from each region of the world - will win an all-expense-paid trip in September to New York, Washington and Hollywood. Their future is in your hands.

Go to the Democracy Video Challenge YouTube site at www.youtube.com/democracychallenge, click the voting tab and view the 18 finalists. Give a thumbs up to the videos you think best capture the meaning of democracy. Winning videos will be posted on YouTube on or about June 16.

To vote, you must go to the contest site (http://www.youtube.com/user/DemocracyChallenge), and click on either the Vote tab or the vote button. After viewing the video, click on either the thumbs up or the thumbs down. Winners (one from each region) will be selected by the highest number of yes votes (thumbs up). The same IP address can be used to vote for more than one video, but YouTube only allows for 1 vote per user per video per day.

In other words the same IP can vote for each of the 16 videos, but to place additional votes for only ONE of the videos using the same IP address you must wait 24 hours.

In order to have a more enlightening enlistment process, please follow this.

Regardless of what appears in your CRS listing of courses,
this is the one and only course listing we will follow
beginning First Semester 2009-10 onwards.

Please print it out for reference.


--------------------------------
UPFI NEW CURRICULUM
--------------------------------

Film 100 Introduction to Film

Film 101 Introduction to Film Production

Film 102 History of Philippine Cinema

Film 103 History of World Cinema

Film 106 National Cinemas

Film 110 Basic Photography

Film 112 Advanced Photography
(formerly Film 115 Advanced Photography)

Film 113 Film Production I [only for old curriculum students]

Film 114 Film Production II [only for old curriculum students]

Film 130 Film Genres
(formerly Film 104 Film Genres)

Film 134 Animation Film
(formerly Film 163 Animation and Special Effects)

Film 131 Narrative Film
(formerly Film 112 Language and Grammar of Film)

Film 132 Documentary Film
(formerly Film 161 Documentary Film)

Film 133 Experimental Film
(formerly Film 165 Experimental Film)

Film 151 Scriptwriting I
(formerly Film 121 Scriptwriting I)

Film 152 Scriptwriting II
(formerly Film 122 Scriptwriting II)

Film 153 Cinematography

Film 159 Film Production Management

Film 171 Film Theory and Criticism

Film 175 Film and Literature

Film 176 Film and the Other Arts

Film 177 Women in Cinema

Film 178 Queer Cinema

Film 180 Film Seminar
(formerly Film 183 Film Seminar)

Film 197 Special Projects

Film 198 Internship

Film 199 Research in Film

Film 200 Thesis



As you can see, there are course codes that overlap from the old curriculum and the new curriculum.

Example, the OLD Film 112 is Language and Grammar of Film.
The NEW Film 112 is Advanced Photography.

Since we are all going to follow the COURSE CODE/NUMBERINGS AND COURSE NAMES OF THE NEW CURRICULUM, we will disregard all old course code numberings and course names.

Hence, from now on, when we say Film 112, that will only pertain to Advanced Photography, and nothing else. When we say Film 131, that will only pertain to Narrative Cinema, and nothing else. Cinematography will be Film 153 from now on, not Film 131. And Film 132 is now Documentary Film, not Production Design, and so on.

Thus, if you are following the old curriculum and it says there that you need Film 121 Scriptwriting I, you now have to enlist in Film 151 because that is the new course number of Scriptwriting I. At the end of the sem, you get a substitution form and fill that out in order to credit Film 153 to your Film 121 in your old curriculum checklist. Gets?

I hope that is clearer this time. Email us again for any other questions.

Please refer to the previous post here for the rest of the Enlistment Guidelines, especially the substitutions for old curriculum students. To reiterate, new curriculum students do not have a problem with this substitution thing; just be guided accordingly with the course numbers as stated above.

And next time, WHEN WE CALL FOR A STUDENT ASSEMBLY WHERE WE DISCUSS THESE THINGS LIKE WE DID MONTHS AGO, PLEASE ATTEND SO YOU WON'T GET LOST, LIKE RIGHT NOW. K?

Thank you.

Please print this out if you want a guideline for CRS enrollment this school year.

When in doubt, don't ask each other or non-UPFI instructors/staff.

Ask the UPFI Academic Coordinator for more clarity and guidance.
[email upfi.academic@gmail.com]


NOTE: These guidelines are for BA Film / BA Film and
            Audiovisual Communication majors only.

            MA Media Studies (major in film) majors' concerns are
            mentioned below [pertaining to back subjects only].

Greetings!  The Philippine Dance Therapy Association invites you to attend the:
 
Body Talk: Dance Therapy Conference
"Express, Listen and Understand Your Body
Through Movement and Dance"

About DMT and the Conference:

Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) is the psychotherapeutic use of movement as a process which furthers emotional, social, cognitive and physical integration of the individual (ADTA, 1999). It is part of the creative arts therapy program which emerged as a distinct profession in the 1940s in the US.

Dance Movement Therapy is used in enhancing guidance and health promotion programsin schools as well as an effective treatment for people with developmental, medical social, physical and psychological impairments (autism, trauma from sexual abuse, cancer survivors, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, ADHD, depression, etc.) in the US, UK,  Australia, Japan among other countries.

The Body Talk: Dance Therapy Conference  is recognized by the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) which is the official organization dedicated to the growth and enhancement of the profession of dance/movement therapy in the US. ADTA approved Continuing Education workshops are approved by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) in the US.

The conference aims to provide us an understanding of dance/movement therapy as a profession and to enrich the participants' professional lives.  Experiential structures will be provided to demonstrate the expressive body-mind, promote self-awareness and adaptability on kinesthetic level.  It will also introduce the multi-roles of the therapist and demonstrate ethical & professional practice; and to answer to questions that relate to clinical issues and the populations the participants might be working with.

All activities will be based on dance/movement therapy concepts that will be explained during the process.  Furthermore films will be shown to help participants see how DMT can be used for various populations and help enable connecting the experience with actual practice.
