The Pocket Film Festival is for videos only made with cell phones (click here for the Japanese site). I’m a big fan of utilizing the resources that you have. It’s no longer necessary to make a six digit investment in equipment when your cell phone and a Web site like Jumpcut will allow you to upload your footage and edit online. Then instant distribution. Bingo! There’s no shortage of creativity, but in the online video world there is certainly a lot of noise. I’m glad there’s a festival out there to filter some of this stuff.
PS When talking about new media, Isn’t film a misnomer at this point? And footage?

sad to say that jumpcut has closed it’s doors on the 15th June 2009. A hard decision for the Yahoo team.
