EdukSine Production Corporation and Bayan Family of Foundations (BFF) proudly present the first edition of SineGosyo Social Entrepreneutship Film Festival, which now calls for entries and is set to champion filmmakers and social entrepreneurs in 2024!

The SineGosyo Social Entrepreneurship Film Festival stands as a pioneering initiative, seamlessly blending the artistry of cinema with the heart and sustainability of social entrepreneurship.

Our core mission is to illuminate the transformative stories of these innovative individuals who have ventured into social entrepreneurship, forging impactful solutions for some of society’s most pressing issues. The festival serves as a dynamic platform to showcase these tales of innovation, resilience, and purpose.

At the heart of this endeavor lies a commitment to empower filmmakers. Through substantial production grants awarded to top pitches, we catalyze the creation of compelling short films that celebrate the theme: “Innovation Champions: Celebrating the Stories and Impact of Social Enterprises”. These films vividly depict the profound impact of social enterprises on our communities, emphasizing the fusion of cinematic storytelling and purpose-driven business.

In addition to the engaging film festival screenings, our initiative extends its influence through enlightening panel discussions. These talks explore the dynamic intersection of Social Entrepreneurship, the Creative Industry, and Advocacy Filmmaking. They serve as beacons of knowledge, open to both physical and global online audiences, promoting awareness about the harmonious integration of cinema and socially conscious business practices in the Philippines.

This collaborative venture unites the efforts of EdukSine Production Corporation and the Bayan Family of Foundations, aiming to achieve significant objectives:

1. Elevating awareness about the pivotal role of social entrepreneurship in addressing societal challenges, contributing to the SE (Social Enterprise) Roadmap’s goals.
2. Showcasing the immense talent and creativity of our local independent filmmakers, providing a prestigious platform to display their skills in capturing the essence of social innovation through film.
3. Creating a reservoir of intellectual capital within the sector, generating compelling content that educates, inspires, and entertains audiences, paving the way for a more sustainable and socially conscious future.

This partnership encapsulates the spirit of collaboration, marrying the powerful narratives of social entrepreneurship with the artistry of filmmaking. We are inviting everyone to join us on this enriching journey, championing the fusion of cinema and social entrepreneurship as a force for positive change, sustainability, and transformative storytelling.
