Firefox Flicks

This past November, we did a 'Firefox Flicks 2013' session at MozCamp Asia, Singapore. MozCamps are intensive, multiple-day gatherings that occur in strategic locations around the world. More than 200 passionate Mozillians from all over Asia Pacific and the Middle East who are contributors to all areas of the Mozilla project took part in MozCamp Asia.

The 'Firefox Flicks 2013' session was hosted by Galaxy and Vineel(myself) on behalf of Tobias Leingruber, works on the Flicks project. We started the session with talking about the background of Firefox Flicks, highlights from Flicks 2012, the awesome Hollywood judges, the amazing community events across the world, screening of winning videos from 2006 and 2012, followed by brief update on Flicks 2013 - the objectives, timeline, how to get involved and gathering ideas.

Firefox is the only browser that puts you first, to share this message, Mozilla launched, Firefox Flicks, a global video contest. Users, fans, filmmakers, animators and people with creativity and an appreciation for Firefox participated in the contest by creating a short video to share our message. The last date for the Submissions was May 1st 2012. There were more than 400 submissions, 1000 plus filmmakers from around the world! We had a great time watching all the videos.

The global winners were selected by the Hollywood judges like Edward Norton, Shauna Robertson, Jeffrey Silver and many other at 2012 Cannes Film Festival. Mozilla India Would like to congratulate everyone who submitted a video and thank everyone who voted. You can still watch all of the clips at the Firefox Flicks website.
