Snapped by Robert right in the middle of London’s Canary Wharf, and mostly ignored by busy financial workers today, was what Nokia (NYSE: NOK) dubbed “the world’s smallest cinema” (not yet verified with Guinness Book Of Records). To encourage people to make movies on their mobile phones, and spread the word about media-sharing site Share On Ovi, Nokia is sponsoring the 2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards for a Pangea Day. Five finalists were announced today. Pangea Day was created by documentary filmmaker Jehane Noujaim to connect people by through film. The five finalists are: Pier Bardoni for Cloud Running; Eduardo Cachucho for Game; Rupert Howe for Amazing Rainbows; Bob Calabritto for Smile; and Kayoom Mistry for Rounds All Around. Contestants uploaded their two-minute entries to Share on Ovi. The finalists will be flown to Los Angeles, where they will be judged, and the winner will receive a trip to the Rwandan Gorilla Reserve and a production budget to record their trip.
