Mobile Movie of the Year Finalists

It’s time for MobileMovieMaking to honor the outstanding films featured in 2021 on our site. As Frank Sinatra sang, it was a very good year. Moviemakers from around the world told memorable stories as they advanced the art of mobile moviemaking. From this bounty, the editors have identified 16 finalists from which they will choose the Mobile Movie of the Year. Illustrating that this is a world wide revolution, the films come from Australia, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Russia, South Africa, the UK, and the USA.  Genres represented are comedy, commercials, documentary, drama, fantasy, horror, music video, news, science fiction, and sports.

The editor’s top choice will be announced on January 7, 2022.

As in previous years, there will also be a People’s Choice winner, determined by the number of comments each film receives. For a comment to count as a vote, the commenter must say something more than “great” or “amazing.” We’re looking for specific comments, for example, a few words about a cinematic technique or a statement about an emotion the movie evoked. You may vote for more than one film, but please do not vote more than once for a given title. Deadline for voting for the People’s Choice winner is January 31, 2022. The winner will be announced on February 1, 2022.

    contenuto di grande impatto emozionale, che, come sempre le narrazioni di Nico Piro, inducono alla riflessione e all’amarezza per la crudeltà di questo nostro periodo storico.
