Come to PAWA254 for the press launch on April 11th at 6 p.m. to get the details on how to enter your submission. The Best Mobile Film Award appeals to all creative documentary filmmakers, who can tell a captivating story using their mobile phone. The theme for the category is Nairobi in motion. Are there people in your daily interactions whose story captivates you? What imagery do you see in your daily life that demonstrates the idea of 'Nairobi in Motion'? What about Nairobi moves you, personally? The answers to one or more of these questions represent some of the ideas we are looking for. We are looking for stories where the mobile phone can help you enter a world that wouldn't be as accessible with a full professional camera crew. This can be a portrait of a citizen of Nairobi that is fascinating-be it the matatu driver, the CEO, the local mama at the market, a U.N. aid worker, a bartender or the next inventor of the next Facebook; even Nairobi itself can be the lead character in your story. It can also be a glimpse into a culture, an event, place or a person that is not often portrayed in the mainstream media. Submissions open April 4th and close 24TH April
