Pocket Film Festival

The first Pocket Film Festival, a festival dedicated to films made on mobile phones starts today at the Forum des Images film centre in Paris. The three-day event will showcase dozens of films ranging from 30-second shorts to a full-length feature.

Several months ago the Forum des Images, the Paris film centre hosting the festival, handed out 100 third-generation (3G) phones to film-makers, writers, musicians, and other creative types and told them to go off and experiment.

This is an interesting concept, but I don't think Cannes Film Festival organizers have anything to worry about. I suppose now anyone with a video phone can be a movie director...NOT!
