Boston Film Festival and iPhone apps

What does the Boston Film Festival and iPhone apps have in common? As far as anyone knows, it’s the first time in movie history, in which a location-based iPhone application, has been accepted as an entry at an international film festival. Developed with funding from NEH, this mobile application will debut on the big screen at Lowes Boston Common Theater 175 Tremont Stthis Sunday, April 18 evening at 9 pm.

The animation and narration is provided by Laura who also did the animation of ECT featured in this blog. It's a murder mystery story that takes the viewer on a walking tour of Boston. "Walking Cinema: Murder on Beacon Hill" can be viewed here.  http://www.parkmanmurder.com/
