The mobile movie scene now has its own awards night. Once a year, amateur directors from across Europe gather in Berlin for the Mobile Film Festival. Amateur film maker Ulrich Wohlleben is just one of the 170 filmakers taking part this year. He takes time out to talk about his entry which features a vacuum cleaner with a mind of its own.

Forty-two-year-old ear, nose and throat doctor Ulrich Wohlleben does it all. He's director, camera man and editor all rolled into one. 
He shoots most of his movies from home in his spare time experimenting with different accessories to create special effects. In this years entry he puppeteers his 'living' vacuum cleaner with fishing line. 
The new visual medium is proving a huge hit as anyone can do it but most new filmmakers are just interested in the fun factor.
