PIFS: October 2008

Film Discussion Writing Award

In order to promote film watching as well as English learning, PIFS are now going to launch a Film Discussion Writing Award.

By watching a movie in Semester 1, 2008-2009, you can share your feelings with all of the PIFS members and have a great chance to win HK$50 cinema cash coupons.

What you need to do is to comment on ONE OR MORE of the questions issued by PIFS during the screening events in PolyU (you can find the questions during the post-screening discussion sessions or in the submission pack). The submission must be in English with the number of words limited to 200. Your work will be judged by ELC teachers and you should focus on your language usage and originality.

Participants are encouraged to come to PIFS’ post-screening discussions where you can hear the different views of the audience.

We will choose 3 winners who produce the best writing among all participants. Winners will be awarded cinema coupons and their articles will be posted on our blog.

This is a valuable opportunity for you to practice your English and show your passion in film appreciation. Please join this event by sending your comment to our email: ecfilm@inet.polyu.edu.hk with your name and mobile phone number. Winners will be notified by telephone.

This round, the movie to be discussed is
“28 Weeks Later”

The deadline for entry is Friday 7 November. Winners will be notified by November 26, 2008.

The schedule of screenings can be found on the PIFS website:
