Bachelor of Arts in Communication students once again proved their skills and talents in filmmaking as they showcased their films during the second edition of Y2Cinema held at the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) - Audio Visual Room (AVR), on December 9, 2022.

In partnership with the CAS Student Council, the Young Communicators’ Circle (Y2C) screened eight films ranging from documentaries to narratives in line with this year’s theme “Ilokano Christmas.”

Each year level of the BA

Communication program produced two films each: ‘Sagut’ and ‘Tarigagay’ (BA Comm I); ‘Iliw’ and ‘Ngayong Pasko’ (BA Comm II); ‘Sagut’ and ‘Lagip’ (BA Comm III); and, ‘Para ken Mama’ and ‘Tarabay’ (BA Comm IV).

“We are thrilled that this year we were able to put together a [face-toface] movie screening event to highlight our members’ talents and enthusiasm for filmmaking.” Leianne Zyra Calderon, the Executive Chairperson of Young Communicators’ Circle (Y2C) told in an interview.

Juries of the said film festival are award-winning Ilokano filmmakers, namely, Mark Moneda, Melver Ritz Gomez, Romel Pascua, and Isagani Manatad. Winners of the Y2Cinema 2022 will be announced tomorrow, during the 3rd episode of Y2Con, December 10.

Y2Cinema started in April 2022 during the 8th Young Communicative Human in Development (YouComManD) Congress. It was only then a pure film exhibition and now Y2C has transformed it into a film competition among communication students.
