Pangea Day broadcast shows five finalists
Espoo, Finland and New York, N.Y. USA - When Eduardo Cachucho, a 23
year old architecture student, entered the 2008 Nokia Mobile
Filmmaking Awards, he had no idea his film would be seen by millions
of people around the world. Cachucho shot the winning mobile short
film "The Game" in his home base in South Africa.
"It was a huge surprise for me to win this awards. I couldn't believe
it was me when the winner was announced at the broadcast, " says
Cachucho. "With my film, I wanted to tell the world that children are
children everywhere, no matter where they live, what their race is,
or whether they are rich or poor. Children are the same all over and
want to have fun and play."
Enthusiastic filmmakers entered the 2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking
awards through the Pangea Day Channel on Share on Ovi, a free media
sharing service that makes it easy to upload, manage and share
personal media through mobile, desktop and other connected devices.
Nokia received more than 600 submissions from around the world.
"Its incredible to see the creativity, beauty and hardships people
capture when filmmaking is opened up and shared with the world," says
Jehane Noujaim, award-winning documentary filmmaker and judge.
The Pangea Day broadcast on May 10 featured 24 short films along with
internationally-known guest speakers and musicians, including Queen
Noor of Jordan, Christiane Amanpour, Dave Stewart and Hypernova.
Highlights from the event are featured on www.ovi.com/pangeaday. The
live four-hour Pangea Day broadcast from six locations around the
world was viewed by more than 1,600 "Friends of Pangea Day" events
globally. Everyone who tuned in was encouraged to share photos and
videos during and after the event at www.ovi.com/pangeaday.
Pangea Day was created by award-winning documentary filmmaker Jehane
Noujaim after winning the prestigious 2006 TED Prize. Together,
Noujaim and TED, with support from Nokia, have created Pangea Day to
connect people by harnessing the power of film and encouraging people
to view the world through someone else's eyes.
