Creative Visual Awards - 11-14 December 2012

PSA is orgnizing the 2nd Creative Visual Awards on 11-14 December 2012. The Creative Visual Awards – Malaysian College/University Student Short Film Festival, USM starts in 2011. It is the 1st university-based short film festival in Malaysia where student filmmakers are directly involved in producing their filming products signaturing their own masterpieces. Whether you’re a student looking for ways to break into the fest circuit or a film lover looking for new ways to experience film, this student-focused festival should be on your radar.

The organization acts as a kind of incubator for students' talents, with prizes to inspire the young filmmakers to keep plugging away at their passions.

ANYONE studying in MALAYSIAN colleges and universities can fire up a camera and submit something. The Creative Visual Awards focuses on students’ films that revolve around themes of humanity, spirituality, scientific knowledge, and works that respect the dignity of the human person and environment. In other words, the content is slightly more hopeful than entries you might find at other festivals. That’s the exact meaning behind the motto of the Creative Visual Awards - “Visualize Your Dream”.

1st Creative Visual Award 2011 - A USM Short Film & Photography Festival

Let’s face it: 1^st Creative Visual Award 2011 – USM Short Film & Photography Festival brings us a new concept. It is the 1^st university-based short film festival in Malaysia where not only arts students, but scienece studetns as well are directly involved in producing their filming products signaturing their own master piece. Whether you’re a student looking for ways to break into the fest circuit or a film lover looking for new ways to experience film, this student-focused festival should be on your radar. In this inception, it targets student filmmakers and photographers from Universiti Sains Malaysia. This year, we received around one hundred submissions among postgraduate students, including science and arts students.

The organization acts as a kind of incubator for student talents, with prizes to inspire the young filmmakers and photographers to keep plugging away at their passions. Anyone studing in USM can fire up a camera and submit something. The jurys are composed of film director, president of film festival, lecturers majoring on film, students, and one Dato, which add to the peer-approved flavor of the festival. In the meantime, students vote their favorite works at the showcases.

The Creative Visual Award focuses on students’ films/photographs that revolve around themes of humanity, spirituality, scientific knowledge and works that they feel “respect the dignity of the human person and environment.” In other words, the content is slightly more hopeful than entries you might find at other festivals. That’s exact meaning behind the motto of Creative Visual Award - “Visualize Your Dream”.

“It’s less a traditional festival and more a crash-course in film/photography production for students who’ve been looking to try their hand at making short films and photography,” Wang Chang Song, Project director and Chair Jury of Creative Visual Award said.

Time: 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Venue: Masjid Al-Malik Khalid, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia

Postgraduate Student Association in collaboration with Pusat Islam USM, Institute of Postgraduate Studies (IPS) and BHEPP (Bahagian Hal Ehwal dan Pembangunan Pelajar) - organizing Malaysian IPT Postgraduates Quran Recitation and Memorization Competition. Universiti Sains Malaysia is organizing this competition for the first time in which many goverment Universities in Malaysia participated.

PULAU PINANG, 18 Ogos – Qari dari Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP), Muhammad Zulhaziman Salleh, 24, muncul johan Pertandingan Hafazan dan Tilawah Al-Quran anjuran Persatuan Pelajar Pasca Siswazah (PSA), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) yang berlangsung di sini baru-baru ini.

Beliau berjaya mendahului peserta di tempat kedua, Omar Saeed Ali, 41 dan tempat ketiga, Umar Rafsanjani, 29, masing-masing dari USM dan membawa pulang hadiah wang tunai RM 1,000, piala pusingan, plak serta sijil penghargaan.

Bagi pertandingan Hafazan, peserta tuan rumah, Abdullah Hussein Ahmed, 33, merangkul gelaran juara dan turut menggondol hadiah utama piala pusingan, wang tunai RM 1,200, plak serta sijil penghargaan.

Mohamed Tagelsir, 24, dari UTP muncul naib johan diikuti tempat ketiga, Mohamed Habashy Mubarak, 36, dari USM.

Majlis yang berlangsung di Masjid Al-Malik Khalid USM itu julung kali diperkenalkan PSA dengan penglibatan peserta-peserta pasca siswazah dari seluruh institusi pengajian tinggi awam (IPTA) tanahair.

Majlis yang dimeriahkan dengan kehadiran Naib Canselor USM, Prof. Tan Sri Dato’ Dzulkifli Abdul Razak itu menjadi kesinabungan penganjurannya pada tahun lalu yang hanya melibatkan para pelajar Pasca Siswazah dari USM.

Dzulkifli dalam ucapannya berkata, inisiatif yang dilaksanakan PSA itu amat digalakkan khususnya dalam memekarkan syiar Islam kepada keseluruhan masyarakat.

Katanya, langkah itu menjadi salah satu agenda yang dapat menyedarkan masyarakat berkenaan ajaran Islam yang indah dan suci, selain menunjukkan kepada masyarakat apakah erti Islam sebenarnya.

``Dalam konteks dunia yang dilanda pelbagai krisis termasuk ekonomi, alam sekitar dan moral masyarakat, kita perlu tampil dengan inisiatif seumpama ini bagi memperbetulkan apa yang pincang khususnya yang membuatkan orang melihat Islam sebagai sesuatu yang kompleks.

``Saya amat berharap majlis seumpama ini dapat dianjurkan dengan lebih meluas pada masa depan dan pihak universiti akan sentiasa memberi sokongan yang sebaiknya,’’ katanya.
