Netflix, the world's largest streaming service, has supported iAcademy, a Philippine IT-based institute, to provide young Filipino filmmakers with indigenous filmmaking resources to promote creative inclusion and diversity. | ManilaBulletin
In a statement, iAcademy said that Nexflix’s Fund for Creative Equity has chosen two winners of next generation of filmmakers in the Philippines under the iAcademy’s iNDIEGENIUS program.
The jurors lauded Shane David’s Muli Na Ka, Merlie for “using the coming-of-age narrative as the vehicle to address urban displacement and for effectively marrying protest art and whimsical storytelling.” The jurors also noted Maria Kydylee Torato’s Bisan Abo, Wala Bilin for its “simple and poignant portrayal of community belief and the perils of urbanization through the eyes of a child.”
One of the most successful producers in the country, Juror Bianca Balbuena, praises the winning films. “I was reminded of the purity of storytelling. Shane’s activism is unapologetically strong but it also paves the way for her intimate narrative to take its own course through the eyes of a child who has to leave her friends, her home, her crush- and during that age, those were the only things that matter. And this simplicity shows the gravity of the effects of displacement.
He adds, “it is imperative to support young filmmakers with their authentic stories since they know these narratives through first-hand experience. This is the gap iACADEMY through iNDIEGENIUS is attempting to bridge. In so doing, we aim to be a part of the solution in addressing disparities in access to funding and creating equal and sustainable opportunities for a wider spectrum of creatives.”
