New Film Awards ‘calls' for mobile phone users
Siemens is promoting its SX-1 mobile phone with inbuilt “camcorder” functionality by sponsoring a new award category for budding and established film makers at the St Kilda Film Festival, reports Gizmag.
"The new award has attracted interest from over 100 filmmakers in Australia, New Zealand and Asia and is called the Siemens Micro Movie Award.
Over the past month directors have risen to the challenge of making a 90 second movie with hundreds of SX1 mobiles having been distributed internationally, piquing the interest and creativity of many movie makers."
