The Adamson University’s official film organization, Silip@lente, in  partnership with the Cultural Affairs Office held their inter-school film festival, Realifilm  2023, on January 27 at the Adamson University Theater. For the first time in two years,  Silip@Lente finally held their film festival competition physically. In partnership with CCP  Arthouse Cinema, the Silip@Lente presented two films in OZ AVR Cinema before the  awards night. Screened films include "Mendiola Massacre" by Lito Tiongson and the 2022  Cinemalaya Short Film "See You George" by Mark Moneda. 

Ms. Catherine Cequenca, director of the Cultural Affairs Office, formally opens the event  with her welcoming remarks, followed by the screening of the film entries. 

After the premiere of 26 film entries, eight films were presented as "Silau's Choice." The  bronze award was given to the film "Hindi kita malilimutan" by PELIKVLA; the silver award  to "Sa mga mata ng bata" by Anonymous Jeepney Productions; and the gold award was  given to "All the Things Left Unsaid" by Recto Films. 

Different film productions, particularly from Far Eastern University (FEU) and Polytechnic  University of the Philippines (PUP), attended the event to support their film entries. 

Attendees from the Project Horsemen Production shared their thoughts on how this kind  of platform can be a good opportunity for all filmmakers from every university and  production to showcase their stories and come together to celebrate the beauty of  creating films. 

Meanwhile, inclined with the event’s theme "Romanticizing life and social issues," one of  the Silver Award-winning production members shared their inspiration on how they came  up with their chosen film story in "Sa Mga Mata ng Bata" by Chauncy Cruz of De la Salle  College of Saint Benilde. 

"Noong ginagawa namin iyong film, we all have that same goal, tungkol sa mga takot ng  mga bata." (When we came up with the film, we all had that same goal, about the fear of  the kids) Parang mabilis kase ma corrupt yung minds ng mga bata especially in dealing  with the adults.. Kase iyon yung nakikita nilang authority" (It's like, their minds are the  most vulnerable and easily corrupted, especially in dealing with adults because they are  who they see as the authority) 

Silip@Lente organized a virtual film screening using Zoom Meeting for all 26 films that  were entered into Realifilm 2023 the day after the actual showing of the film. 

Without the support of our sponsors, this event would not be possible. Silip@Lente would  like to express their appreciation to the following organizations and individuals:
