Mobile short videos will be seen on international Pangea Day
broadcast
Â
Espoo, Finland and New York, N.Y., USA - The wait is over. Nokia
today announced the five finalists for the 2008 Nokia Mobile
Filmmaking Awards which will be screened during the Pangea Day
broadcast on May 10th. The winners will be flown to Los Angeles to
attend one of Pangea Day's six live broadcast locations on Saturday,
May 10th.
Â
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.
Â
The five finalists in the Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards competition,
which ran from March 19 to April 30, in no particular order, are:
Pier Bardoni for Cloud Running; Eduardo Cachucho for Game; Rupert
Howe for Amazing Rainbows; Bob Calabritto for Smile; and Kayoom
Mistry for Rounds All Around.
Â
Contestants uploaded their two-minute long entries for the
competition to the Pangea Day channel at 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.
Consumers who registered on the site voted to select the five
finalists.
Â
All five finalists, chosen by online voting, will be flown to Los
Angeles for the event. A panel of professional judges - including
Jehane Noujaim, Dave Stewart and others - will review the videos
prior to the broadcast and pick a winner, which will then be
announced during the Pangea Day broadcast. In addition to the trip to
the Los Angeles event, the winner will receive a mobile filmmaking
trip of a lifetime to the Rwandan Gorilla Reserve and a production
budget to record their trip.
Â
On May 10th, millions of people all over the world will come together
to watch a 4-hour program of short films, coupled with talks from
CNN's Christiane Amanpour and Queen Noor of Jordan, and with special
musical guest. Through the Friends of Pangea Day page at
http://www.pangeaday.org/events.php, anyone, anywhere can sign up and
host their own Pangea Day event or attend an event in their local
community.
Â
Though submissions for the 2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards have
closed, images and films will live on at www.ovi.com/pangeaday where
you can continue to share your experiences about this special day.
