How It Works

1: We select the best submitted films and submit them to the jury
2: Jury voting takes place over 1 month

5: Based on jury votes, the winners are announced
6: Winners receive an official MoMo Award (digital).

'MoMo' is run by Simon Horrocks (creator of the Silent Eye smartphone-shot scifi series released via Amazon Prime) and provides a level playing field for filmmakers where talent, creativity and hard work counts more than budget and industry connections.

Believing that anybody with a thought-provoking concept or a touching story can make a great film, the festival will showcase new talent using a tool so simple and readily available that it’s often overlooked: the mobile phone.

The winners will receive an official MoMo award in the following categories:

Best Documentary / MoJo Short
Best Fiction Short
Best Music Video
Best Feature Film

Copyrighted material is NOT accepted, unless there is a written permission to do so. (MoMo is not liable for any copyright material unlawfully used)

The film must be an original production. It may not infringe on the copyright, trademark or other rights of any individual.

Films must have full clearance for all content, including music.

  • Excellent festival with tremendous short and feature films made on mobiles. Access to screeners was convenient and I really enjoyed this year's selection and extremely honoured to be Feature Length Doc winner. Thank you. πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

  • I am truly thankful to have been a part of Mobile Motion. It was a huge accomplishment just to make it as a Finalist, but to have my film awarded Best Documentary Short by my peers and viewers was a real honor and something I don't take lightly. The caliber of films selected in this Festival are top-notch, both in story and execution, so just to be among them for the viewing was a win. Thank you Simon for heading such a good festival. It is one of my top on my list for smartphones.

  • It was an honor to have my first film, Into the Dim Lights, selected to be included in the festival as a finalist in the feature file category...thank you to Simon and his team for providing a space for truly independent mobile films to be profiled. Hopefully next time there could be an in-person screening of the films!

  • MoMo was a wonderful festival to be a part of, the organisers are experts in the field and serious about promoting mobile filmmaking to the world. The line up of films to watch was breathtaking and even though we had to attend online, it was still a great way to catch up on the best Mobile films from the past year. The online platform was easy to navigate and Andrea and Simon stayed in contact and kept us updated on the progress of the film. Winning an award at MoMo was great recognition for our team and ONE PUNCH's story and message, and has helped us get this film seen by a worldwide audience. Thanks team!
