Film Ambassadors' Night

The Film Ambassadors’ Night is the Film Development Council of the Philippines’ major annual event that honors Filipino filmmakers, film workers, and film projects that have earned international accolades and awards in festivals and markets in world cinema in the previous year. During FAN, we also take the occasion to grant the Camera Obscura Awards, the highest honor granted by the FDCP to a filmmaker, film worker, a pillar of the film industry, or a film project. This is awarded to an individual or a film project that has breached records and blazed trails globally with their extraordinary achievements in performance or contribution to the international stature of Philippine Cinema.

CAMERA OBSCURA ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE AWARD

  1. John Arcilla (Volpi Cup for Best Actor from the 78th Venice International Film Festival)
  2. On The Job: The Missing 8 (OTJ)

For their unparalleled success in 2021 in the international film festival scene, the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) will give the Camera Obscura Award for Artistic Excellence—FDCP’s highest citation—to Mr. John Arcilla and Director Erik Matti’s “On the Job: The Missing 8.”

At the 76th Venice International Film Festival (IFF) held in Italy, the sequel to Matti’s 2013 film “On The Job” made its world premiere in competition where John Arcilla won the highly coveted Volpi Cup for Best Actor, making him the first-ever Southeast Asian actor to win the prize.

Shortly after its premiere in Venice IFF, “On The Job: The Missing 8” became available for streaming worldwide following its acquisition by media giant HBO GO. The movie’s groundbreaking journey in content distribution, from cinema and international film festivals to international digital streaming, proves the caliber of Filipino content that goes beyond borders.
