Mobifest Toronto 2008

Despite the first snow fall of the season, Mobifest Toronto went of without a hitch. The brave souls who weathered the storm enjoyed a collection of international mobile films, which won awards at festivals in Hong Kong, France and Brazil, in addition to the 37 Mobifest Finalists.

The winner of the first ever Green Scene category, Gilbert James' Urban Growth , was the only winning filmmaker in attendance and accepted his award from Candida Paltiel, CEO of Planet in Focus .

The other winners; Felipe Cardona of Columbia winner of the Shot on Mobile category, Helen Jackson from the UK who won best Animation and Peter Vadocz of Hungary won Best of Festival with his Mobile Postcard Series, all sent in virtual acceptance speeches.

Thank you to all of the filmmakers, sponsors and international partners that contributed to the night's success.
