The upcoming project, "Overheated Symphony", aims to create a collaborative mobile phone film directed by women from around the world. This initiative, part of the Birds Eye View film festival in London, encourages women to submit short films on any topic within the theme of "Overheated". The resulting film is expected to showcase a diverse range of voices and perspectives. The project's website invites women to submit videos of themselves in hot weather, with the goal of creating a final edit called "Overheated Symphony." The inspiration for this project came from a 1927 film called "Berlin - Symphony of a Great City" by German filmmaker Walter Ruttmann, which used a montage of still pictures to showcase city life. British film director Sarah Turner will be creating the final edit from the mobile phone contributions, and she describes the project as "very abstract." She believes that the film will allow women from around the world to engage in a "dialogue of ideas" and that women's themes and issues will be a significant part of the finished piece. Turner expressed this sentiment in an interview with Reuters. Turner is collecting intense mobile films before the March 2 deadline and will create a live edit of the symphony to be shown on March 9 at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts. Rachel Millward, director of the Birds Eye View festival, which is in its third year, mentions that the film focuses on new technology and the themes of women and intensity. She mentioned that there is a shift towards interactivity and multi-platform projects in the film and media industry. They wanted to create a project that incorporated these elements, as well as having a playful and inclusive atmosphere. The goal is to showcase films made by women all around the world, challenging the stereotype that women are not tech-savvy. Contributors are encouraged to upload their work onto the festival's YouTube channel for editing. Although the final outcome is uncertain, Millward believes it will be greater than the individual contributions. She says the film is so unpredictable, it could cover topics like climate change or passion, and possibly even more than that.
