Last August 7, the Film Desk of the Young Critics Circle honored the winners for the 18th Annual Circle Citations (YCC Awards) for Distinguished Achievement in Film for 2007. The awarding ceremony took place at the Pulungang Recto of Bulwagang Rizal (Faculty Center Conference Hall) in the University of the Philippines-Diliman.

Established in 1990, YCC is the academe-based critics group with members coming from various disciplines. Through the years, they have become attentive observers of Philippine cinema constantly bringing into the analysis of film an interdisciplinary approach.

Among those who attended were filmmakers Brillante "Dante" Mendoza, Jade Castro, and Nick Deocampo. The latter was chosen to give the keynote address-signaling the first time a filmmaker is handpicked for the pivotal task that has become an annual YCC tradition.

Direk Dante's Foster Child won Best Film and Best Screenplay while ufo Pictures' Endo won Best Editing, Best Sound and Aural Orchestration, and Best Performance for Jason Abalos. Death in the Land of Encantos, directed by Lav Diaz, garnered the Best Achievement in Cinematography and Visual Design.
