The Flaneur Film Festival

Call for films and video for new Flaneur iPhone film festival

The Flaneur is running the first indie film festival held entirely on iphones.  The selected films will be viewable as a downloadable Film Festival app from the Apple app store (subject to the usual acceptance by Apple). This is a proof-of-concept attempt to bring film and video to a whole new audience.

Call for films for The Flaneur iphone film festival

Submission deadline: July 31st 2010

More details: http://www.flaneur.me.uk/film-festival

Film makers and artists are invited to submit work for the first Flaneur iphone film festival. This will be held on iphones around the world.

To keep download time low our first festival is restricted to films and videos of around 3 minutes in length. This is not a hard and fast limit – if your film is only a bit longer then we will still consider it.

Please keep the MB size of your film as low as possible.

The Flaneur Film Festival exists to bring independent film and video to a wider audience. We are looking for films that entertain, amuse or educate. Or all three at once. It’s eclectic. If we like it, it’s in. There are no big sponsors and no corporate voting. This is a film festival for newcomers and old hands who would like to be part of this new film project.

We are not judging films on hi-def quality. This is not necessary for entry. In fact, to keep file size down we may have to reduce the MB size of any entries. So please send the smallest version you have.

Requirements:
Films and videos, live action and animation, fiction and documentary
3 mins length. Keep the MB as low as possible.
Video encoded in .m4v, .mov, .mp4 and .3gp
A brief one or two sentence description of the film.
