Catalogs of all editions of the Pocket Films Festival
The Pocket Films Festival (which I founded with Forum des images - Paris, concepted and directed), during its six years of existence (2005 to 2010 at the Forum des Images and the Centre Pompidou, France), built an original editorial, innovative, open to the most singular practices.
Here is the editorial memory of this event. You can view and download the catalogs of six editions of the Pocket Films Festival (catalogs only in french language).
The Pocket Films Festival was born in 2005, when cell phone cameras first appeared. I conceived and directed it, at the request of the Forum des images (Paris), which produced it, in partnership with SFR and the CNC. From its very first edition, it was the benchmark event on the subject of audiovisual creation with cell phones and pocket cameras. It ran for 6 editions, from 2005 to 2010, at the Forum des images and the Centre Pompidou. The website www.festivalpocketfilms.fr, a record of the event (350 films available for viewing), is still online.
From 2011 to 2013, the lux Scène nationale de Valence produced a follow-up event, Caméras mobiles, which I also directed.
And now, creating with mobile tools is part of the general field of audiovisual creation.
