One Chevrolet Cruze vehicle will be awarded to the winning film director in the Mofilm film festival competition which received 100’s of submissions of short films of 5 minutes to www.mofilm.com which recently closed on January 24th 2009. A Mofilm jury comprising international film experts has now selected a short list of 26 films from which 6 films will be selected including the grand prize winner taking home the fantastic new Chevrolet Cruze and 5 further prize winners receiving 2000 Euros each. The Mofilm team will be using an extended reviewing panel to reduct the 26 film short list to 10-12 finalists which will then be widely distributed at the Mobile World Congress where more than 50,000 visitors will have the opportunity to vote on the best of the selected films. Film directors with films in contention will be notified in early February. One of these prize winning directors will then be awarded the Chevrolet Cruze at mid-day on Thursday 19th February at the Mofilm festival by Chevrolet and Kevin Spacey.
The second Chevrolet Cruze will be awarded to the Mobile World Congress delegate who films the best 30 second personal statement at the Mofilm stand – The Mofilm stand will be located in Hall 7 and will have a Chevrolet Cruze on the stand with a camera crew ready to film.
