Director's chair calling

Shoot a fundoo flick on your phone; rub shoulders with the best in B-Town

Once upon a time, your li'l pocket buddy's job was only to make calls and send a text or two. Today, of course, it pretty much runs your lifeu00a0emails, Tweets, photography, Facebooking, mobloggingu00a0and no, it isn't stopping there. Brace yourself for the Digit-All Movement (DAM), a celebration of the era of e-expression.

Conceptualised by the students of Symbiosis Institute of Media & Communication (SIMC), the affair is aimed at encouraging the country's commonfolk to get creative with their 24X7 gizmo, one that involves no extra cost, storage or maintenance trouble, whileu00a0 proving a mighty multimedia messenger.

DAM is an international film festival that will take place from February 1 to 3 in the SIMC campus at Pune, but entries for short films in three categoriesu00a0fiction, non-fiction and animationu00a0are invited from the world over.
"We are hoping more people from the Middle East, South Asia and Europe would send in entries," said co-ordinator Shagufta Ahmed. Attendees will include VJ-actor- director Luke Kenny (of Rock On! fame), fimmakers Kunaal Roy Kapur (The President is Coming), Dibaker Banerjee (Khosla Ka Ghosla), Anand Patwardhan and celebrated film critic Rajeev Masand, among others. And no, they won't just be posing, but holding interactive discussions. Are the aspiring Spielbergs listening?u00a0
