The film has its world premiere today at the Munich Film Fest.
Vodafone installed a DVB-H environment expressively for the premiere, which will be tonight 8pm. the movie will be viewable on siemens DVB-H prototype handsets.
Song fuer C will also be featured at Ars Electronica in Linz in september.
Pictures and some scenes (in German) are available here.
The story draws the actual audience, namely the mobile user, into an interplay of different, authentic-looking messages (such as SMS and MMS), film broadcasts and clues, turning him into an active „voyeur“ of developments.
... the mobile is kept up-to-date on the unfolding investigation via mobile video messages sent by a detective, actively involving the user into events: a father is looking for his 18-year old daughter Clara.
When the project is broadcast in real time, it is to go on the air step by step over a period of two weeks. For the premiere at Munichs Filmfest, the individual instalments will be condensed into a performance about fifty minutes in length".
