CINEMAGIS is the region’s first short film festival which aims at encouraging our film making enthusiasts to address and reflect on Mindanao experiences, voices, aspirations and issues. Filmmakers are also encouraged to draw inspirations from any local lore or any pressing realities that capture the essence of MAGIS- a take on doing more, leaping extra mile, or to have more care for others, doing better things for the greater glory of God through renewal of the self.
CINEMAGIS aims at recognizing and strengthening the skills of our filmmakers to come up with significant body of works that will lead them to national recognitions and contribute to the rising Mindanao Film Industry.
This year, CINEMAGIS suggests the following themes
- Peace Themes (Inner Peace, Cultural Solidarity, Human Rights, Gender and Development, and Harmony with the Environment)
- Cultural Understanding and Awareness
- Life’s funny and subtle contradictions
- Environment
