Film-makers in mobile challenge

Mobile phone Three directors have been set the challenge of shooting and editing a short film in under a week, using mobile phone footage.

The trio - Richard Jobson, Carol Morley and Martin Percy - have a budget of £3,000 to make the three-minute film.

The task is part Screen International's Cinema Next conference in London on Friday, where delegates can vote either in person or online for a winner.

As part of the contest, film-makers shoot some images from the conference.

Digital movies

The budget has been put forward by the UK Film Council New Cinema Fund to demonstrate how a new generation of film-makers are creating short digital films as the technology gets cheaper and more accessible.

Former punk singer-turned journalist and director Jobson wrote and directed 16 Years of Alcohol and The Purifiers.

Morley is a former Bafta nominee and directed the documentary The Alcohol Years.

And Percy has produced web-based live action films for the National Theatre and the London Olympic bid.
