WE'VE GOT NEWS!!! Here's the run down! Read below...


The Disposable Film Festival was created to celebrate the artistic
potential of disposable video: short films made on non-professional
devices like one-time use video cameras, mobile phones, point and
shoot cameras, webcams, and other readily available video capture
devices.

SUBMIT YOUR ARTFUL-IN-IT'S-AWESOMENESS FILM BY JULY 31, 2008
We are now accepting submissions for our 2009 program. We can't wait
to see that amazing series of moments you captured and crafted into a
cool film. Sumbit your film here!

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

PRIZES! PRIZES! PRIZES!
All selected films will win their makers the coolest of prizes: mobile
phones; free dinners, free web-hosting, expensive puppies. Hot prizes
for winners. (Cold frowns for losers.)

DFF SPONSORED BY THE COOLEST VIDEO SITE EVER
If you've used Vimeo before, you know we were just saying this because
they sponsoring us. Vimeo has an exceptional community of filmmakers
uploading the best shorts on the internet. You'll even be able to vote
for your favorite disposable film for what will be our first ever
People's Choice Award!

2009 PROGRAM: BIG-TIME PLANS
The program, made better by your cool film, will premiere in San
Francisco in January 2009 and tour the country–winning you friends and
admirers where ever it's shown. Your film's just that good. The cool
kids in Omaha can see the program too–it will also be available in its
entirety on Vimeo.

THE PORTABLE FILM FESTIVAL
We've made festi-friends with some awesome Aussies who host a festival
with a cool twist: it goes where you do. They want YOU to take their
2008 festival into places new and exciting. Get your friends together,
get your films together, and take Portable, well, portable on August
3rd, 2008! The festival has been viewed in places as far flung as
Mongolia last year. Portable wants you to push their festival, and
push the party, to the global limits. More details at
www.portablefilmfestival.com
