Child Like Wonder

This year, Nokia hosted a competition to promote their pocket-size Nokia8 mobile HD film technology. Consumers submitted short films shot only with a cell phone for the chance to premiere at the Edingburgh International Film Festival (as well as receive $10K).

The winner, called SplitScreen, shows the journey of a couple in love who travel from New York and Paris to meet in London.

One of the runner ups, hosted here, is my personal favorite: The Adventures of a Cardboard Box." This short shows just how inspiring childlike wonder can be. It also reminds us adults not to get caught up in the definition and functionality of what something is supposed to be, and to rather see the world as we want to see it:
