Netsize, the leading global wireless solutions enabler and Mobile Event today announce the astounding results of the first "Mobile Film Festival" held in Paris for which they jointly delivered the mobile internet services. The official selection of competing films has been available for free download from Gallery, the French mobile internet portal managed and available on all three mobile operators, providing a mobile search engine, site listings and online billing capabilities to brands and content providers.

For its first edition, the Mobile Film Festival had over 84 short films specially made to be viewed on mobile phones entering to compete for the awards. These quirky, funny and creative films have been judged and voted on by the general public, before the final deliberations of a Jury which was made up of mobile industry professionals. There were five prizes awarded for the best film, best script, best original idea, public price, and Jury special price.

"The 1st edition has been an impressive success, especially on the mobile internet site where we reached 1500 downloads per day without any massive promotion of the wap site. We had more visitors using mobile phones than using the web site and almost 150,000 wap pages were viewed in 15 days!" commented Bruno Smadja of Mobile Event. "The reason we partnered with Netsize was because of their content management platform, mSuites, and their unrivalled technical expertise in delivering mobile internet solutions" He went on to add that, "Netsize is also a certified Gallery partner recommended by Orange for enabling rich media content which was an asset."
