The Dublin Smartphone Film Festival (DSFFEST) is a brand new international festival dedicated to celebrating work shot on Smartphone and Tablets.
No longer is expensive technology a barrier to creativity. The mobile phone has expanded the scope and freedom for filmmakers. Now aspiring artists have the ability to write, shoot and edit, their films at the touch of a button. Smartphones are reshaping the way we approach filmmaking creating limitless possibilities in the palm of your hand.
The festival was created with the goal of encouraging these filmmakers to share the stories they have captured on mobile devices. We also aim to provide a platform to exhibit these stories to a wider audience. It is a chance to reward storytellers, who are using these devices to push the boundaries of narrative and style.
The festival takes place in the month of January and submissions are open to anyone with a Smartphone/Tablet and compelling story to tell. Throughout the year their will be events designed to challenge filmmakers and revolutionize the way we approach filmmaking.
We believe the cinema event is still vital for maintaining the health of cinema as an art-form. That’s why we watch hundreds of films and select those we feel have achieved incredible things with minimal resources. But that’s not all. We also help more people to use the camera in their pocket to tell powerful stories.
