IV MOBILEFEST 2009 - International Festival of Mobile Art and Creativity
Call for mobile videos 2009
Mobilefest International Mobile Video Exhibition
17th to 28th September 2009
MIS - Museum of Image and Sound (Museu da Imagem e do Som) Sao Paulo,
Brazil.
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 videos2009@mobilefest.org, ATTN: Paulo
Hartmann and Marcelo Godoy, and include the phrase NEW MEDIA
POSSIBILITIES in the subject line.

mobiles are encouraged to participate. We will work closely with
