THEME: How can mobile technology contribute to democracy, culture, art, environment, peace, education, health and the Third Sector? Mobilefest Call for Mobile Videos has a cultural emphasis and, thus, is not competitive by design. We seek the very best content possible to share broadly with our participants and via mobile technologies. The 2009 Call for Mobile Video is for professional filmmakers/videographers (writers/producers/directors), as well as amateurs (people that do not make their primary living in the film/video business). Mobilefest also seeks participation and contribution from artists, researchers and developers actively engaged in discovering new possibilities for uses of mobile media. OVERVIEW Today, several initiatives by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), universities, media centers, companies, governments and regular citizens all over the world use the new mobile technologies to promote democracy, culture, art, the environment, peace, education, health and the Third Sector. Mobilefest International Mobile Video Exhibition will screen selected narrative, documentary and experimental film/videos that support these. GENERAL SUBMISSIONS Films and videos submitted should relate to one or more of the stated Mobilefest general theme categories (democracy, culture, art, peace, the environment, education, health, and the Third Sector). Video about the environment is separately considered. 1. Professional Submissions Mobilefest seeks films/videos that may be narrative, documentary or experimental in nature, provided they relate to democracy, culture, art, peace, education, health and the Third Sector. They must be suitable for viewing on a small format, although they need not have been shot using mobile technology. Running time is not restricted. Films/videos can be independent, studio produced, or corporate sponsored. Criteria Submissions must be professionally produced/directed and may be submitted either by the writer, director or producer(s). Videos should have been completed during the previous year, although exceptions will be allowed with advance permission from Mobilefest organizers. Previously submitted entries may not be resubmitted. 2. Amateur Submissions Citizen filmmakers and videographers unite! Submit your creations that were made either using your mobile phone, or made for watching on a mobile. Whether telling a story or documenting something, you can submit your video as long as it relates to any of the themes of Mobilefest. ENVIRONMENT SUBMISSIONS A significant aspect of Mobilefest is its commitment to screen informative and consciousness-raising digital content (shot either by professionals or amateurs around the world) that encourages the mobilization of everyone to protect and preserve our planet for generations to come. Mobilefest calls on all mobile users around the world - professional, amateur, citizen journalists, etc. - to mobilize for the protection of the environment by sending noteworthy videos of the environment from their mobiles or computers. In addition to images that may reveal lack of respect towards our Earth - like illegal cutting of trees, water pollution, wild animal smuggling, or other irregularities - Mobilefest also seeks videos that show the beauties of nature to draw attention to what future generations will miss if we don't take action now to preserve and protect Mother Nature. Criteria - Only the rightful owner of material may submit it. Material may not be submitted by third parties on behalf of anyone else. - Submissions may include fiction and non-fiction films/videos that reflect the issue of environmental protection. - Submissions need not be professionally produced or directed. - Special attention will be given to documentary footage - either professional, amateur or citizen journalist - that captures environmental mistreatment. If your video documents acts being committed against the environment, please include date, approximate time and place of shooting, and total running time of the video. NEW MOBILE MEDIA POSSIBILITIES Mobile and wireless technologies are making it possible for artists of all kinds to stretch the boundaries of their creativity. Mobilefest encourages producers, developers and artists to explore their imagination in search of new artistic expression that uses current technology and hints at future possibilities for content production and distribution. Mobilefest Festival seeks artwork, video and mobile-related creativity that incorporates such technologies as GPS; 3G/4G access; music; wi-fi; scanning; video calls; micro-blogging; picture and video messaging; new applications; localized content; real-time image processing and recognition; augmented or mixed reality; streaming video sharing; and mobile TV. Criteria We are looking for innovative and unique submissions that defy easy categorization or prerequisites, so if you have something you believe we should include, please send us a brief description (up to 500 words) of your project or digital artwork and then we will contact you. Please send your email to [email protected], ATTN: Paulo Hartmann and Marcelo Godoy, and include the phrase NEW MEDIA POSSIBILITIES in the subject line. SHOWCASE OF MOBILE FESTIVALS WORLDWIDE From its very beginning in 2006 Mobilefest has built an international network of festivals that involve content production created by or for mobile applications.
