Nokia Nseries joins Tribeca Film Festival in celebrating their five-year anniversary

Nokia celebrates the art of storytelling as a signature sponsor of the Tribeca Film Festival, which begins its fifth year this week in New York City. As a returning sponsor, Nokia premieres several new projects, including a series of original works from Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker Oren Jacoby and a new series of the widely popular Public Service Announcements which will air prior to each film screening. The combination of Tribeca Film Festival and Nokia brings together the best in filmmaking with the best in mobile technology to create a unique experience for Festival Participants, film enthusiasts and the general public alike. The documentaries and PSAs can be viewed online at www.nokia.com/tff.

In addition to the activities onsite at the Tribeca Film Festival, Nokia unveiled this week in Berlin, Germany a pioneering mobile video initiative called Nokia Nseries Studio, a new interactive community that serves as an online destination for mobile movies. Gary Oldman, the director of BAFTA award-winning Nil By Mouth and star of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Leon and Harry Potter: The Prisoner of Azkaban, leads an international cast of creative visionaries who are shooting mobile movies for the Nokia Nseries Studio on a Nokia N93, the newest addition to the Nokia Nseries, which allows users to capture DVD-like quality video.

“There are few things more powerful than telling a good story”, said Johan Eidhagen, Director, Multimedia Marketing at Nokia North America. “As a leader in mobile photography and video, Nokia’s presence offers a unique opportunity to not only demonstrate how our Nokia Nseries devices serve as a medium for storytelling, but also to showcase original Festival content, including works shot using a Nokia Nseries multimedia computer by several acclaimed filmmakers.”
