This has been announced on other blogs, but we’ve been asked to post it as well just to get the word out.

Cinema Out of Your Backpack is a festival celebrating a new revolution in film-making.
DSLR video cameras, the game changers in the film industry, are creating extraordinary new possibilities for every filmmaker: cinema-quality images shot out of the backpack for a tiny budget. Technology is democratized. Now it’s the story that matters, not just the visuals.

CHALLENGE

Got a feature film idea? Pick one scene and shoot it with your DSLR. 3 minutes, fiction or documentary. All gear has to fit in your backpack.

FESTIVAL

From January 1 to March 31, 2011 our Festival group on Vimeo is open for submissions.
A selection of the best movies will be celebrated on the big screen at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Film Academy in Ludwigsburg, Germany, followed by an awards show presenting the Festival winners.
