Who are we?
Founded in 2005 by Bruno Smadja, the Mobile Film Festival is an international Festival of short films, based on a unique and original format : 1 Mobile, 1 Minute, 1 Film.
Our aim: discover and support talented filmmakers from the all over the world.
Smartphones offer accessibility for anyone anywhere, our festival pretends to be a democratic and equalitarian. Our 1 minute format is very selective and competitive. The combination of the 2 is a chance to discover talented filmmakers.
The Mobile Film Festival is a digital festival from the beginning, thus aiming at reaching the largest audience. Yet, its short and creative format, as well as the technical quality of the films, enable broadcasting of the films on all screens: smartphones, computers, TVs, cinema theaters…
Since 2015, the Mobile Film Festival has been committed to meaningful themes around climate change, human rights and women’s empowerment, and received 6414 film entries from 157 countries, generated 134 million views and distributed €336 600 grants for production
