Selected by MovieMaker Magazine as one the country-worldʼs “coolest film festivals,” the Disposable Film Festival was established in 2007 to celebrate the artistic potential of disposable video—short films made on non-professional devices such as mobile phones, pocket cameras, webcams, and other lo-fi, readily available video capture devices. The Disposable Film Festival hosts traditional theatrical screenings, competitions, filmmaking workshops, panels and other events to educate and inspire aspiring filmmakers. The Disposable Film Festival premieres each year in San Francisco before traveling to cities across the country and internationally.
