SINE
SIKLAB
FILM FESTIVAL

Sine Siklab is the first and official film festival of CIIT College of Arts and Technology. Established by 24 Frames, it is an extended presentation and competition of short films that aims to showcase the talents of students in the field of cinema and that provides a platform for creating inspirational and influential feature productions that will make significant impacts to our nation’s future in filmmaking and in globalization.

BRAND

The name SINE SIKLAB is formed by the combination of the Filipino words sine and siklab:

• sine – the art of film, specifically identifying Filipino cinema.
• siklab – the intensity of feeling and excitement, bringing out the best out of people through competition or pasiklaban.

LOGO

The logo symbolizes a fire reaching greater heights, consisting of three different elements: a film strip representing the art of cinema, the letter C for our school CIIT, and the letter S for our brand, SIKLAB.

THEME

This year’s theme will be A BLAZING START, representing a new beginning not just for our org 24 Frames and the school of CIIT College of Arts and Technology, but also for those who will participate in this celebration.
