Japan is hosting their first pocket films festival this weekend. The event, started in 2005 by French filmaker Jean-Charles Fitoussi, is much like a traditional film festival – expect that all of the films are created on mobile phones.
The Pocket Films Festival explores the potential for audio-visual expression that lies hidden in a “practical high-tech toy,” and through various media, aims to construct an ideal method of communication that excites our sensibilities – something not yet obvious even to artists.
