Released this week, the latest issue of Go Social Film iPad Magazine features Sundance London Short Film Winner “Extranjero” along with other award winning and notable short films. Countries represented by the seven film lineup include the United Kingdom, Lithuania, France, and the United States.
A unique combination of digital magazine and short film distribution platform, Go Social Film provides an immersive film viewing experience to its mobile audience on the iPad. Each month, readers are treated to a selection of short films streamed directly to their iPads, along with filmmaker interviews and behind the scenes material revealing how the films were made; all from within the pages of magazine.
“Extranjero” is a five-minute film which follows a refugee trying to run from his past as well as the confusion in his own mind. Discussing the film’s inclusion in the magazine, co-director Daniel Lumb commented, “It’s not just about showcasing great films, Go Social Film also gives insights which not only inform the audience, but also inspire.”
Today’s filmmakers and audiences are more tech-savvy than ever. As the popularity of the iPad continues to grow, filmmakers are recognizing the opportunity publications like Go Social Film magazine provide for their films to be seen world wide on mobile devices.
“It’s a brilliant platform for short films. Enjoy a high quality presentation of a film, and then a few words from the filmmaker who created it. What could be better?” Director Hasraf Dulull, “FUBAR Redux”
