Eduardo Cachucho Wins 2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards

Pangea Day Broadcast Shows Five Finalists

ESPOO, Finland and NEW YORK, May 14/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- When Eduardo Cachucho, a 23 year old architecture student, entered the
2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards, he had no idea his film would be seen by
millions of people around the world. Cachucho shot the winning mobile short
film "The Game" in his home base in South Africa.

"It was a huge surprise for me to win this awards. I couldn't believe it
was me when the winner was announced at the broadcast, " says Cachucho. "With
my film, I wanted to tell the world that children are children everywhere, no
matter where they live, what their race is, or whether they are rich or poor.
Children are the same all over and want to have fun and play."

Enthusiastic filmmakers entered the 2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking awards
through the Pangea Day Channel on Share on Ovi, a free media sharing service
that makes it easy to upload, manage and share personal media through mobile,
desktop and other connected devices. Nokia received more than 600 submissions
from around the world.

"Its incredible to see the creativity, beauty and hardships people
capture when filmmaking is opened up and shared with the world," says Jehane
Noujaim, award-winning documentary filmmaker and judge.

The Pangea Day broadcast on May 10 featured 24 short films along with
internationally-known guest speakers and musicians, including Queen Noor of
Jordan, Christiane Amanpour, Dave Stewart and Hypernova. Highlights from the
event are featured on http://www.ovi.com/pangeaday. The live four-hour Pangea
Day broadcast from six locations around the world was viewed by more than
1,600 "Friends of Pangea Day" events globally. Everyone who tuned in was
encouraged to share photos and videos during and after the event at
http://www.ovi.com/pangeaday.

Pangea Day was created by award-winning documentary filmmaker Jehane
Noujaim after winning the prestigious 2006 TED Prize. Together, Noujaim and
TED, with support from Nokia, have created Pangea Day to connect people by
harnessing the power of film and encouraging people to view the world through
someone else's eyes.
