A little while ago I blogged and posted my presentation for the LAFTAS (Language and Film Talent Awards) promoted by CILT.
In school we are using it as an opportunity for our S4's to think about the study of a language and its relevance to their future working life. I am hoping we get a whole raft of amusing, interesting films to judge.
This morning though this post cropped up in my reader from Liz Kolb's From Toy to Tool Blog. So here's a call to all creatively minded language teachers.
Enter the Festival Pocket Film. For the 4th edition of these awards the organisers have introduced an international section specifically related to producing films for viewing on mobile equipment (phones, pda's etc).
Here are some more details:
Project typology :
All
collective / participatory projects which use mobile technologies such
as mobile communications terminals, small digital cameras, etc. and
which result in an audiovisual presentation or diffusion of : films,
news reporting, video blogs, video casts, webTV...
Examples :
a teaching, technical or artistic workshop
an audiovisual documentation of a particular community by its members
the constitution of an audiovisual cooperative
an informational relay program regarding environmental, - public health and cultural problems
a participatory artistic project...
If and when I eventually get my back sorted an return to work I hope to be able to get something together for this project.
