GMA Life TV Shows Win Big in International Festival!
Date : Jun 12, 2009
Two GMA Life TV shows won in the recent US International Film and Video Festival (USIFVF). GMA LIfe TV is a second channel from GMA Network.
Emerging as one of the top programs among 1,100 entries from 22 countries, RAJO RED: The Business of Elegance won the USIFVF Silver Screen Award and REUNIONS, hosted by Jessica Soho, was cited with a Certificate for Creative Excellence, both in the Documentary: Motivational, Inspirational category.
The Los Angeles-based USIFVF, established in 1967, attracts the biggest networks and creators of Business, Television, Documentary, Educational, Entertainment, Industrial, and Informational productions from around the world.
Produced by the (GMA Network's sister station) Entertainment TV Group of Q Channel 11, in partnership with the House of Laurel, RAJO RED is a special documentary on the celebration of the 15th anniversary of Philippine fashion icon Rajo Laurel. The program featured the evolution of masterpieces by Rajo, a gala fashion show for a cause,and other highlights of the life of the acclaimed designer.
The Multiple Reunions episode of the publich affair program REUNIONS, on the other hand, featured three reunion stories, that of 63-yr old Josefina Ramirez, the Barbuco family, and Sgt. Douglas Holcomb. Ramirez had been searching for her siblings for 50 years; the Barbuco family fervently prayed that they be reunited with their 33-year old, mentally challenged son; and Filipino-American Sgt. Douglas Holcomb, who was born in the Philippines but supposedly abandoned by both his parents.
RAJO RED and REUNIONS stood tall at the USIFVF, along with such programs as Marathon Love (USA), which aired on the Discovery Health Channel; Controlling the Discourse: The 'Putin Empire' and the Media, from NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corp); and Nigella Express (featuring Nigella Lawson) from Pacific Television, London, United Kingdom, with support from Food Network, USA.
Last year, GMA Life TV/Q Channel 11 show PROUDLY FILIPINA won the Gold Camera award, also from USIFVF, in the Documentary: Motivational, Inspirational category. And just this January, INNO SOTTO: A Special Fashion Documentary, THE SWEET LIFE, CHEF TO GO, ANG PINAKA, NEWS ON Q, and DRAW THE LINE were winners at the 2009 New York Festival.
