Cellfilms. Ithica College in New York is hosting the Cellflix Film Festival, and has asked students between 13 and 20 to submit 30-second movies shot entirely with their cell phones. They have narrowed down the nearly 200 entries they received to 10 finalists that can be found here. (My votes to the shadow puppets and the progression of life.)

Great PR campaign. I wonder which handset maker is behind it.

Who knew there were hundreds of adolescents in Ithaca making cell phone movies? Wow, do I feel out of touch.

Title: "Demographic," a film about understanding your identity and yourself
I'm TIRED of feeling guilty for being white and male! This sophomoric 30-second salvo from a an Ithica College student has solidified my resolve to release and be true to my inner dolphin. Oh, wait, pizza's here.

The #1 voted pilot from Channel 102 last month, Running From Johnny Law, was also entirely shot in Ithaca. New episode on Monday.

That Postal service commercial was so low-budget shitty that I thought it was one of the entries!
'Art is Everywhere' really was a beautiful little film. The escalator, the plane, the train and the music were all a simple and impressive combo. American Beauty anyone?

I just hope the NYU taking out the trash one doesn't win. Fuck that kid with his production logo at the end. Pretentious.

I don't think any cell phone providers are behind it. I think the communication school wanted to attract attention to itself, because it had been about 15 years since they were featured on Entertainment Tonight.
