Mobile phones to take on Taleban propaganda in Afghanistan

A plan to use mobile phones to combat Taleban propaganda in Afghanistan is being considered by the UK Government, reports the Times Online.

"Mobile phones would be distributed by non-governmental organisations to Afghans so that they could make and share their own videos to contradict the prevailing Taleban message, according to a BBC report.

Anti-Western films already circulate on Afghanistan's estimated six million mobiles and are spread among the country's half a million internet users.

The new media plan, said to be devised by an outside consultant to the Foreign Office, envisages having up to 100 short films made by Afghans ready in time for a film festival next summer according to the BBC.

Whitehall officials say the aim is to deprive the Taleban of its virtual monopoly on propaganda using new media, the BBC says.

The coalition's reputation has been damaged by the spread of mobile footage such as the film distributed after a US-led raid in August that showed rows of bodies of children and babies in a makeshift morgue."

Mobile phones emerging as new video distrib channel

famousframes.gif With the advent of new technology - greatly thanks to the iPhone - and larger phone screens, distributing entertainment content via mobile phones is now on its way to becoming an important new business for Hollywood, writes The Hollywood Reporter.

According to Mark C. Miller, CEO of FFMI and President of Famous Frames, Inc, "the iPhone totally changed our industry because now we can deliver our content and you see it in DVD quality. It has become an accepted form of entertainment where you can watch anything you want any time anywhere.

... I think the time has come for mobile entertainment. I believe it's actually going to be preferred (to have content always available) as opposed to being anchored at a certain time or place with a certain program which you have not chosen. It gives people a lot of freedom and I think that's what it's all about now."

Motorola developing mobile movie service

motoz10.jpg Motorola is developing a movie store for its phones, claims UK trade magazine New Media Age via electronista.

"An alleged source at partner studio Paramount says that Motorola is in the "late stages" of offering a service that would offer full-length movies pre-formatted for Motorola's more media-friendly devices.

Paramount is currently the only studio known to be involved, though others are allegedly in talks to add their own catalogs.

The service is labeled as a "breakthrough," but would offer virtually the same means of loading media as for the iPhone; rather than download videos directly to the phone, users first download videos through the computer and sideload (transfer) the content to the phone through sync software.

The report doesn't indicate whether Motorola will offer movies for rent or purchase and mentions no pricing. However, a launch is due as soon as late May."

Nokia and Spike Lee team up with Nokia on short film

24cellB.span.jpg Nokia and Spike Lee are teaming up to direct a short film comprising YouTube-style videos created by teenagers and adults using their mobile phones, reports The New York Times.

"By hiring Mr. Lee for the project, Nokia is seeking to combine the populist appeal of user-generated content with the power of a famous director’s pedigree. The film will have three acts, each three to five minutes long, with the theme loosely based on the concept of humanity.

The project is an experiment for Mr. Lee, but it is also a way for Nokia to promote its wares. Cellphone companies are all trying to position their products not just as devices for talking, but as multimedia devices that can play music, search the Web and capture video."

... A film would cost $2.99 for a 30-day rental. Its digital rights-management software would allow films to be moved from a computer to at least one other device such as the video iPod or iPhone. The software would prevent movies being copied.

Apple, which declined to comment, is believed to be aiming for an autumn release. "

ZML offers the latest Hollywood movies for your phone - illegally?

Until now, you’ve only been able to download movies to your computer from file sharing sites and then jump through technical hoops to reformat them to work on your portable device. Well it was only a matter of time before someone offered downloads straight to your handset and that someone is ZML. Pocket Picks reports.

As well as downloads to PCs, ZML offers downloads to iPods and PDAs in a variety of formats playable on mobile devices. The downloads cost $1.99 each and you get a choice of over 1,500 movies both brand new and old classics.

There’s nothing mentioning the legality (or not!) of the site but we have to assume that Hollywood doesn’t see any of the money you pay and that ZML is going to be closed down as soon as Hollywood’s armies of laywers find out about it. writes Pocket Picks.

Studios Cracking Down on Mobile Video Pirates

nightvision.jpeg The motion picture industry is using high-tech night vision devices in order to monitor movie audiences. [via ABC Local]

"Officials say that in many cases criminals can turn a film around in less than 24 hours. With the latest advances in cell phones, it is becoming harder to catch those illegally recording first run movies.

That is where night vision devices are key. Theatres across the country are now using them.

The movie industry loses about $7 billion annually to piracy. "And as you know this industry here in Hollywood is $600 billion industry, but we lose jobs," says Rep. Diane Watson (D-CA).

Experts say that the night vision devices are having an impact. Some theatres are beginning to ban cell phones in an attempt to cut down on the illegal recording of films inside movies theatres."

Wi-Fi TV to Deliver First Streaming Movie to iPhone Today

wifitvlogo.jpg Wi-Fi TV announced today that it will be offering the public the first ever delivery of a streaming movie to the iPhone from a website.

To the best of the knowledge of Wi-Fi TV Inc., no other company prior to today has offered the public a movie that streams to the iPhone.

The importance of showing streaming movies on the iPhone is that the iPhone has a limited and non-expandable memory that can only hold a certain number of songs, videos and other information.

Unlike other plans announced to deliver movies to the iPhone, Wi-Fi TV does not require a movie to be downloaded and stored in the iPhone memory, but rather Wi-Fi TV streams the movie, which takes up no memory space in the iPhone.

Italians shoot film with camera phone

15m.jpg According to the AP, Italian directors have completed a 93-minute documentary movie called “New Love Meetings" filmed entirely with a Nokia N90 called “New Love Meetings".

"The movie mostly features close-ups, and the image, while overall clear, is slightly shaky. Directors said Tuesday that no post-production manipulation was made on the image.

Although no professional lightening was needed, a pocket flashlight was used at times, said Milan-based Barbara Seghezzi, the other director of the movie.

The approach offers the advantage of being intimate, leading people to open up a little more easily, directors say. In a documentary about love and eroticism, that doesn’t hurt. For two months last year, the directors interviewed some 700 people across Italy, at bars, open markets, on the beach. About 100 of them ended up in the movie.

... The directors’ idea was to do a modern version of the 1965 documentary “Love Meetings” by Pier Paolo Pasolini, the famed film director and writer found beaten to death 30 years ago. "

Welcome to movie phones

n76_open.jpg An opinion piece by The Los Angeles Times on how movies on a cell phone memory card could challenge carriers and remake the content experience.

"... Device manufacturers are boosting the processing power and storage capacity of mobile phones to entice consumers to spend more on a handset. They're no longer selling phones, but miniature computers that take the place of iPods, camcorders and portable video players. And they're built to connect to a PC or the Internet without using up minutes from the owner's monthly airtime quota.

The most vivid example of this is Apple's iPhone, which is due next month. Just like its iPod brethren, the iPhone will be able to copy the music, TV shows and movies stored on its owner's computer. To connect to the Internet, it will not only be able to use AT&T's relatively slow EDGE data network, but also any free or commercial WiFi network in range.

With those capabilities, iPhone owners won't even need AT&T's wireless network to make a call, let alone download a hit song (AT&T has, so far, refrained from offering full-song downloads through its wireless network).

... The effect on the entertainment industry, though, is not so clear. The control that carriers have wielded over their networks and the devices that connect to them has been a mixed blessing for Hollywood and the record companies."
