The Disposable Film Festival responds to the fast and easy media that dominate our social lives; camera-phone party snaps clog Facebook profiles and viral videos burn out on YouTube before they fully flare up. If Marshall McCluhan's famous maxim "the medium is the message" still holds, then this media landscape must hold a pixelated mirror to a vapid, impatient culture. Commanding filmmakers to use cell phones, webcams, and digital video cameras for creative purposes, the Disposable Film Festival is determined to make the most of media saturation. The resulting work offers commentary that's anything but superficial on the ephemeral nature of art in the age of YouTube.
