Chandigarh Jan.
20, 2021:- Today we are breaking our own record of launching the 14th
edition of International Festival of Cellphone Cinema 2021. IFCPC now is the
oldest festival in the World for mobile films. Around 14 years back we shot the
first full length film with mobile in association with Karl Bardosh of New York
University. Half of the film was shot in New York and half in Noida. People
were amazed to see the magic of mobile phone,” initiated Dr. Sandeep Marwah of
Marwah Studios & President of the 14th IFCPC Festival.
Prof. Karl Bardosh Master Professor in Cinema at Tisch School
of Arts New York University, USA, said that large cinema equipment including
track trolley, crane, stands, lights etc. overshadowed the tiny little camera
at different locations in Noida and New York forced people to watch the
shooting in the most mysterious conditions. He added that not many people could
appreciate the new way of film making that time. Table has been turned now.
Everyone wants to make a film with mobile.
Prof. Peter Terezakis of New York University, USA, said that
he appreciate the 14 years partnership of Karl and Sandeep in promoting Mobile
Cinema all over the World. They have been titled as Fathers of Cellphone
Cinema. They are ones who have started mobile festivals at Cannes, Hungary
after India and USA. It is now the subject in New York University. Mobile has
created many new film makers and has been an instrument not only in learning
cinema but films are shot on mobile, USA.

finished his full-length feature film on mobile. You get best results and can

at its peak. The World has been informed and entertained by short films made by
