The upcoming mobile phone film project, "Overheated Symphony," has the potential to either become a popular "hot chick flick" or a powerful statement against global warming. Female filmmakers from around the world are encouraged to participate in this project as part of the Birds Eye View film festival in London, showcasing women's voices in cinema. Participants are asked to create a short film between 40 seconds and four minutes on their mobile phones, with the only requirement being the theme "Overheated." The films will be compiled by a London-based director to create a diverse cinematic experience. The project's website states that they welcome submissions from women regardless of their location or background if they have something interesting to share. Sarah Turner, the British film director in charge of editing the final product, drew inspiration from the 1927 film "Berlin - Symphony of a Great City" by Walter Ruttmann, which used a variety of still images to depict urban life. Similar to that film, "Overheated Symphony" will be abstract and allow contributors to exchange ideas with women worldwide. Turner believes that because the films are created by women, themes and issues important to women will be a key component of the finished product. Turner is collecting mobile films before the March 2 deadline for 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, in its third year, believes the film explores the intersection of new technology, women, and intense emotions. She stated that the direction film and media are heading is towards more interactivity and multi-platform projects. They wanted to create a project in line with this trend, as well as one with a playful, game-like feel where everyone can participate. They aim to showcase the voices of women worldwide and challenge the stereotype that women are not tech-savvy. Contributors are encouraged to upload their films on the festival's YouTube channel for editing. Despite the uncertain outcome, Millward is optimistic that the final product will be greater than the individual contributions. She mentions that the unpredictability of the film is its best aspect. It has the potential to address various topics such as climate change and passion, and she believes it will encompass all of these themes and more.
