AN experimental film from Mapua University recently won the grand prize at the 18th Piling Obrang Vidyo (POV), an intercollegiate film competition managed by the University of the Philippines Cinema, a student film organization based at the UP College of Mass Communication in Diliman.

The triumph of 'Rambutan,' directed by third-year Digital Film student Shayla Claire Perales from Mapua's School of Media Studies (SMS), was enough to propel her school back to its winning ways in the film festival circuit after a long drought during the pandemic.
