Movies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies, such as the Oscars．But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm-the first mobile film festival．
The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries．Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length-ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones．An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers．The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones．
New Platforms
The awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry．Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films．They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work．Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works．
It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience．Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!
New Technology Advances
MoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood．The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size．However this could be overcome as technology advances．
In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone．And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality．
Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain：the quality of work, the simple ability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere．

Recently, another study has been carried out about who is the greatest American president．Sixty-five presidential historians took part in it and they judged the past forty-two American leaders based on ten qualities of leadership, which include public persuasion, crisis(危机)leadership, the management of economy, moral leadership and international relations．The historians also looked at administrative(行政的)ability, relations with Congress, goal setting and pursuit(追求)of equal justice for all．Finally, the experts considered performance based on the historical period in which the president lived．
The historians chose Abraham Lincoln as America’s greatest president．He had also been named best president in a similar study in 2000．Abraham Lincoln was the only president in American history to lead the nation during the Civil War in the 1860s．He united the nation at last．And he took the first steps that detroyed the institution of slavery in America．
Edna Medford is a professor of history at Howard University in Washington, D．C．She was an adviser on this study and the ealier one．She says Abraham Lincoln is seen to represent the values that the nation most honors like truthfulness, moderation(温和)and respect for human rights．
The historians named America’s first president, George Washington, as second on the list of greatest presidents．Franklind．Roosevelt, theodore Roosevelt and Harry Truman are next in that order．John F．Kennedy, the coutry’s first Roman Catholic president, is sixth on the list．Like Abraham Lincoln, John F．Kennedy was murdered while in office．
Among recent presidents, Ronald Reagan was named the tenth best president．Bill Clinton was rated fifteenth．And the historians rated former president George W．Bush as number thirty-six．His fathter, George H．W．Bush, did much better．He was rated as number eighteen．
