New Zealand short film Pacific Dreams has beaten more than ten thousand entries to be one of 60 finalist films in the inaugural Mobile SIFF competition section of the prestigious Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF).

An independent production directed by David Strong, Pacific Dreams tells the story of one elderly woman’s struggle to uphold her human dignity in a rest home.

The 12 minute short features a local cast including Don Landridge, Tina Cleary and Dame Kate Harcourt, all of whom volunteered their services.

Pacific Dreams will go on from Shanghai to screen at the Rhode Island International Film Festival in August.

SIFF is the first A-list international film festival to launch a mobile film section and allows for all Chinese mobile subscribers to view competing films via mobile phones and other mobile devices.

The Festival runs 11–19 June, with winners of the SIFF Mobile competition announced on June 18.
