Nokia and CHT Jointly Organize First Mobile Film Festival in Asia Pacific27 September 2005
Nokia (NYSE: NOK)
is working hand in hand with Chunghwa Telecom (CHT), the leading operator in
Taiwan to organize the first Mobile Film Festival in Asia Pacific from
September 27th to November 9th. During the festival, Taiwan's first-ever
contest for creative self-directed mobisodes will be held. Mobisodes are
brief videos specifically designed to be watched on a mobile phone.
The Mobile Film Festival will feature ten newly directed films, including
Confession at the Front Line by Chun-Chien Lien, BOY-9-7-6-5-2-0-GIRL by
Hung-I Chen, A Traveler's Odyssey by Po-Liang Lin, Sleepwalking by Mo!relax
Team, Ji-shiang Chen, Hong-Bin Chen's G man, and another five remarkable
films by talented college students like De Flower by Chia-Jen Chen. The
concept for the mobisodes is based on how a 'phone' is interpreted by the
individual directors, inspiring new thinking and novelty. During the
festival, 3G subscribers in Taiwan can view the mobisodes at a promotional
rate.
Mobile communications is being transformed from voice to multimedia
comprising messaging, Internet access, video and film. These changes are
redefining people's lifestyle and are opening up new frontiers also in film
making.
The ten directors featured at the festival will discuss how the mobile
phone, acting as the next-generation media, will impact the creative sector,
general audiences, and movie industry. Directors may leverage the varying
screen size and viewing direction to create mobisodes, photography, and
visual arts. A new set of rules can apply to the acting, subtitles,
soundtrack and dialog, expanding the creativity space. Some directors suggest
short mobile films will become the trend, which will attract more creative
talents to mobile cinematography.
Best of all, the public is free to choose when and where to view
mobisodes. Mobisodes will revolutionize creativity and viewing habits to let
mobile subscribers truly experience how "Life Goes Mobile".
Taiwan entered the 3G multimedia era earlier this year, giving the
region's telecom industry the opportunity to offer rich and diversified
services such as mobisodes. The local mobile market is eager to experience
the many facets of 3G contents and applications.
"Nokia is promoting the 'Life Goes Mobile' concept with our
state-of-the-art technology and products," says Mike Wang, Regional General
Manger, Networks, Nokia. "With the inauguration of our 3G based Mobile
Services Development Center last week in Taiwan, Nokia has the platform to
turn mobility life into a reality. We will team up with operators and
partners to create innovative, value-added mobile content that dovetail with
Taiwan's consumers' needs."
