South African mobile phone film takes top award

Eduardo Cachucho (23), an architecture student at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), recently won an international award for a short film he made on children in KwaThema township. His prize includes the chance to film a Nokia sponsored documentary on gorillas in Rwanda's forests. His documentary, titled The Game, beat more than 600 entries in the 2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards and shows a group of children playing video games at the KwaThema Chess Academy. The video games room is one of its major sources of revenue. The entries were filmed on mobile phones. The awards were made at the Sony studios in Los Angeles. Eduardo wants a career that integrates architecture and film making.
