Director: Various.
United Kingdom, 2011.

Selected by MovieMaker Magazine as one America's coolest film festivals, the Disposable Film Festival was created in 2007 to celebrate the artistic potential of disposable video: short films made on non-professional devices such as one-time use video cameras, cell phones, point and shoot cameras, webcams, computer screen capture software, and other readily available video capture devices. Now in its fourth year, the San Francisco-based Disposable Film Festival offers a forum dedicated to the creative potential of this new mode of filmmaking through screenings, competitions, and other events to showcase the best work within the disposable genre.
For Cambridge we have a special programme of selected films highlighting the startling new creative possibilities opened up by the lo-fi, low-tech and low cost; refreshing, spontaneous and the complete antithesis of the megabudget, CG-laden style-over-content Hollywood blockbuster. The Disposable Film Festival Mission: The Disposable Film Festival supports and celebrates the democratization of cinema made possible by new, inexpensive video technology, offering a legitimate forum in which the work of zero-budget and non-traditional filmmakers is taken seriously and exhibited in theaters around the United States and internationally. Through workshops, competitions, panels, and other events intended to educate and inspire, the Disposable Film Festival promotes experimentation and helps build the track record needed for a new generation.
