 AWARD: BEST MOBILE MOVIE AT STOCKHOLM FILMFESTIVAL
2006-11-25 A few weeks before the Stockholm International Filmfestival of 2006, I was invited to participate in their new competitive section - Mobile Movies. Ten directors (amongst them - Johan Renck, Martin Kellerman and Malou Schultzberg) were invited by the festival in cooperation with Nokia, to make a short film of a maximum of 15 minutes, using only the new cellphone Nokia N93. We were all given the same theme to work on - "Together" - and around 3 weeks to make the films. I ended up making the film "Varandra, Han & Jag" and I'm happy to announce that it was awarded Best Mobile Movie, at the Stockholm Filmfestival award ceremony on Nov 25, 2006. See the films on the campaign site! Or have a look at parts of the award ceremony! (Click on "avsnitt 11").
The jury's motivation: "The award for best Mobile Movie goes to a confident director who has used the means available in a surprising and daring manner to create a warm and philosophic piece of entertaining animation. True to her vision while working with new technology."
The prize includes a weekend trip for two persons to the Cannes Filmfestival 2007!
