PARTICIPATE IN THE POCKET FILMS FESTIVAL !
June 8, 9, 10, 2007 in Paris, France

The 3rd edition of the POCKET FILMS FESTIVAL is opening it’s call for  
entries worldwide. Shorts and features, fiction, documentaries,  
clips, experimental films - all types of films, exclusively shot with  
a cellular telephone, are now being accepted.

The selected films will be shown during the POCKET FILMS FESTIVAL on  
June 8, 9, 10, 2007 at the Georges Pompidou Center - the largest  
center for contemporary arts in Europe.

In 2005, the Forum des images launched the first edition of the  
POCKET FILMS FESTIVAL, a major event devoted to films made  
exclusively with cellular telephones. Our goal was to explore and  
initiate a better understanding of the impact of this new audio- 
visual tool, the video camera, included in the latest generation of  
mobile telephones. The first two editions of the POCKET FILMS  
FESTIVAL explored the creative uses of this tool and offered the  
presentation of new works by French video and graphic artists,  
writers, filmmakers, students of art and film schools and the general  
public, in major movie theaters. The Festival received more than  
1,000 films which were made exclusively for the Festival, 200 of  
which were selected by a jury and screened at the Forum des images  
and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, France. Many films have  
gone on to be shown in other international films festivals : Locarno,  
Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, Kiev and at the International Critic’s  
Week, at the Festival de Cannes.

The Forum des images is a major cultural institution in Paris,  
dedicated to the exploration of the relations between cinema,  
technologies and society through screenings, workshops, and the  
organisation of films festivals. The Forum des images is also a major  
French film archive with Paris as its theme.

SEND US YOUR FILM SHOT EXCLUSIVELY WITH A CELLULAR TELEPHONE BEFORE  
MARCH 30, 2007.
