CNN video had this short clip via source pangeaday.org


Though the description by CNN hardly does justice to the video, it is a touching video that actually won an award last year at the Sardinia film festival 2008. link

More info from mid-day about the video

Sumit Roy’s Dancing Queen  shot on a Nokia cell phone  has journeyed through various festivals owing to its simplicity and novelty: The MIPCOM Mobile and Internet Awards, Cannes, Toronto Mobifest 2007, Pangea Day Global Broadcast, 2008, Hollywood and the Sardinia Film festival, 2008.

    This is a movie which keeps you on the edge and you keep on guessing what will happen next. When you have seen the full movie you are spell bound by the surprising end. How the Director coceptualized this movie is a big question. Only some one having a very far sighted vision can make a movie like this. Keep it up.

    That was a good one. As an aside, I used to play a lot of imaginary cricket on my table at school with my fingers which later expanded to football and tennis.

    The number of international awards this movie received is testament of the fact that this is a great movie. Although it has not recived any awards in India as the concept of mobile film is yet to catch up here but all the same this is a classic movie and our younger generation should learn how in 90seconds one can narrate a story without any dialogue. Hats off to the Director.
