First ever ''Made-for-Mobile'' screenings ready to roll
The inaugural "Made-for-Mobile Screenings," produced in association with Vodafone live!, will take place at MIPTV featuring MILIA, the world's audiovisual and digital content market, on Wednesday 13 April 2005 in Cannes. The event will showcase programming from companies who have produced video content specifically designed for mobile distribution.
Over 60 "Made-For-Mobile" projects were put-forward for selection, from 14 countries. A total of 12 projects have been pre-selected, spanning 10 categories that range from animation, comedy, drama, general entertainment, music, news and sports. A panel of 8 industry experts, drawn from both the mobile and television sectors, will come together at MIPTV featuring MILIA and select 3 "Best of Show" projects from the 12 pre-selections. The following day, the chosen projects will be featured at a special "Best of Show" screening. The "Best of Show" selection categories will be: Best Adaptation from Existing Medium , Best original Mobile Content/Format and Expert Panel's Top Choice.
The "Made-For-Mobile" Screenings will be a key part of a major mobile focus at MIPTV featuring MILIA 2005 which highlights the emergence and huge potential of the mobile content market. The Screenings are organised in partnership with Vodafone live!, the world's leading mobile operator.
"The time for Mobile TV has arrived," says Graeme Ferguson, Director of Global Content Development, Vodafone Group Services Ltd. "The role of television producers will be key in providing real entertainment to mobile customers. New formats and new ideas are needed to meet customer expectations and the programme being launched at MIPTV will be a great opportunity to showcase the potential for Mobile TV. "
