I take great pride in welcoming all the attendees and participants to the Dhaka International Mobile Film Festival 2020. Now on its sixth year, CinemaScope (an apprenticeship program under Media Studies and Journalism Department of University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh) has painstakingly organized this momentous event. From the onset, it has seen the potential of the mobile phone for the purpose of storytelling; seeing the impact it would make in the art of filmmaking.

This year, Cinemascope has received a groundbreaking submission of 202 films from 41 countries. Even better, only 41 of the submissions came from Bangladesh. This creates an atmosphere of being truly global. The festival undeniably creating a mark in the film arena. The festival demonstrates the success of the ULABian belief in active learning wherein gaining knowledge using a practical approach brings out the best in learners and prepares them to succeed in life.

I would like to thank the attendees, participants and organizers for offering your best. Your active participation in using mobile device as a creative tool has opened doors for others to evolve. Your knowledge, expertise and experience will help our future apprentices to set foot on a path which is more known but less walked on. I would also like to thank the ULAB management for their unwavering support to this festival; for sharing our vision and belief in the technology.

The Dhaka International Mobile Film Festival (DIMFF), the first of its kind, has started its journey in 2015 as an outlet for exhibiting class work. In five years, DIMFF has established a reputation from being a home-grown celebration to an international festival.

Warm regards,

I started to film small 10-15 second video clips of anything and everything I found interesting. And before I knew it, it became an impulse. People say how cameras have ruined experiences as we prefer to record events rather than to see them with our own eyes. They are right! But I see it as a way to share my experiences with a greater audience. And this pretty much is the synopsis of my film, It’s me sharing my experiences with a big audience.

The Conundrum SYNOPSIS Nayeem, a university student, who is apparently leading a boring and mundane life, wakes up one morning and discovers that everything seems like yesterday. He goes on with the day, slowly starting to question everything that feels like déjà vu, slowly descending into insanity and giving himself up to the fear of the unknown.

International Mobile Film Festival, San Diego; Dublin Smartphone Film Festival; Toronto Smartphone Film Festival, Canada; iPhone Film Festival, USA; Milan Mobile Film Festival; New York Mobile Film Festival are some of the significant mobile film festivals all over the globe.

CinemaScope and DIMFF in 2015, an apprenticeship program of University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh, Cinemascope, first organized a mobile film-making competition. The main focus of this competition was to engage the members of CinemaScope. The after years it was open to all ULAB students. The film festival went international in 2017 and renamed as Dhaka International Mobile Film Festival. The year of 2020 brings the 6th edition of DIMFF with the submission of 202 films from 41 countries. Arifur Rahman is the jury chair, who has shared the panel with Sadia Khalid Reeti and Devaki Bist. A tremendous journey to reach here wouldn’t be possible without the team of film enthusiasts.

Hardware and software being the greatest challenge among all, there are certain workarounds which can help but never truly replicate the actual quality obtained when a film is made using a weavb wi‡eiæ camera made specifically for filmmaking. With such challenges, why bother with mobile filmmaking? There is always a silver lining to everything. Pjw”PÎ mgv‡jvPK To tackle the superficial challenges, one must find the positives in filming with such a small device. Artists tend to like the discrete nature of smaller cameras more as it allows them to act freely without distraction. With better technology, it is easier to shoot with a smaller handheld device that is light even with a stabilizer, than to film with a big rig with an actual camera. Most of the higher-end smartphones have amazing image stabilization to begin with, thus making hand-held filming much easier. To tackle these actual challenges are the reason that smartphone cameras are getting better every year. The smartphones I would have mentioned last year, I would not usually even mention this year as their preceding models have generally outclassed their predecessor. For an example, since phones from 2018 are cheaper than those released in 2019 and will have price drops when 2020 phones come out, let me list a few of the older phones one can get for a bargain which have absolutely amazing cameras and software, despite their small censors, for mobile filmmaking.

The Dogma 95 was a filmmaking movement started in 1996 by Danish directors Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg who created the “Dogme 95 Manifesto” and the “Vows of Chastity” (Danish: weavb wi‡eiæ kyskhedsløfter). These were rules to create filmmaking based on the traditional values of story, acting, and thee Pjw”PÎ mgv‡jvPK and excluding the use of elaborate special effects or technology. It was an attempt to take back power for the director as an artist, as opposed to the studio. They were later joined by fellow Danish directors Kristian Levring and Søren Kragh-Jacobsen, forming the Dogme 95 Collective or the Dogme Brethren. While Dogma 95 opposed the use of technology, its core principle is the same as those shared by indie mobile filmmakers. The device may have changed, but the medium remains the same. In conclusion, we know well enough the opportunity to get into mobile filmmaking and prospering in this day and age is endless. There is no need to think twice, everyone already has a device to get start with- Today. There is nothing to hold back anyone anymore, and the possibilities are limitless. Carpe diem!
