‘Safe filming’ amid the Covid surge

Just as more film productions have resumed operations and cinemas have been given the go-signal to operate at limited capacities, we are faced with another hurdle due to the recent surge of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases and the presence of new virus variants in the country.

SOUTHERN VOICES FILM LAB

The Southern Voices Lab (SoVo Lab) aims to discover indigenous stories and empower the voices of the filmmakers from Mindanao which is in the Southern region of the Philippines.

In 2019, SoVo Lab selected seven (7) 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-time filmmakers with film projects in an advanced stage of development to work with international and local mentors and consultants to develop and refine their screenplays. Each project received a P100,000.00 development fund to produce their pitch trailer for the final pitch showcase.
