After sadly missing The Disposable Film Festival’s first bike-in movie screening, the promise of a full three days of programming seems like a perfect way to kick off the weekend before South by Southwest Film. The festival, which premieres annually in SF before heading to Brussels, Beijing and other host cities and is art directed by My First Earthquake frontwoman Rebecca Bortman, opens tonight with a sold out competitive shorts program at The Roxie.

Criteria includes “films made on non-professional devices such as one-time use video cameras, cell phones, point and shoot cameras, webcams, computer screen capture software, and other readily available video capture devices” (and don’t think that doesn’t include feature-length projects). For those new to the genre, Vimeo community director Blake Whitman will present on basic shooting, animation creation, and editing at ATA on Sunday–and as for promotions, it doesn’t get much better than “The more you know! Free. Includes bagels and coffee.”
