The Disposable Film Festival

What is Disposable Film you ask? According to The Disposable Film Festival site: “It has been made possible by new media and the rise of online distribution. These films are often made quickly, casually, and sometimes even unintentionally. Everyone has become a Disposable Filmmaker: directors of Saturday night cell phone videos, actors under the eyes of security cameras, and narrators before their webcams.” Judging by that description, we are all potential disposable filmmakers.

There are very few rules to the festival, like making sure your film is shot on one of the above mentioned items, non-professional. It also must be under 10 minutes. After watching some of the films, I was amazed at the creativity, newness, and the simplicity. Many of the films would be accepted into the bigger festivals I am sure. As a matter of fact I would recommend that some festival programmers take a gander at the amazing work on this site and also on Vimeo.
The Disposable Film Festival originates in San Francisco and hosts screenings in Paris, London, Brussels, New York, most recently Beijing, and other cities worldwide. DFF also give talks and host other events during the year, like their bike-in movie screenings (ride your bike into a screening as opposed to a drive-in).

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and make a film, celebrate art and your creativity!
