IASAS Art & Film is a wonderful opportunity for student artists and film makers to come together to learn from both professionals and each other. ISM hosted the 5 other IASAS schools (International School Bangkok, International School Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta Intercultural School, Singapore American School and Taipei American School), with each school bringing 8 Art Delegates and 8 Film to attend a mix of workshops and film screenings. The schools also bring premade work to share with each other, which they spend time discussing and celebrating. Please click on the link below to go to the dedicated website for the event.

ISM's IASAS Film delegates had a wonderful time this year at the IASAS Film and Art Cultural Convention. They were able to share their films, which they mad as a response to the theme of "Jai", which is a Thai word for "heart".  Students received feedback from the other IASAS School delegates, took part in screenings, webinars and film workshops and they also made a 24 hour film challenge. The prompt for this challenge was to include hand sanitizer as an object in their film and also the line - "I didn't see that coming." They also had individual wildcards such as using a genre or a technical element in their films. Students had a lot of fun working on the films and also enjoyed meeting and talking to other student filmmakers about their films. 

Posted to the left is the full catalogue for the event, with the Film section starting on page 48. To learn about the workshop leaders and schedule for the event, you can also click on this website link:

The Manila Student Film Festival is open to any student in the Philippines and has categories for ES, MS, HS and University students. ISM's HS Film Club students help plan and run the event, taking responsibility for finding sponsors and judges as well as organizing the actual festival day. There are also many ISM students who enter and are selected to present their films.
