Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphones have been touted as “creator” smartphones for a few years now. With the release of the Galaxy S22 series, the company is pushing even harder for its flagship to be a go-to when it comes to content creation. We’ve seen the phones used to create content on social media and also some pretty impressive shorts before. Now, Samsung wants creators to push the boundaries with Nightography and its Galaxy AI-enabled cameras.

In conjunction with the launch of the new Galaxy S22 series, Samsung is launching a new competition with the Malaysia International Film Festival (MIFFest) to challenge aspiring filmmakers to come up with amazing stories with their smartphones. 22 shortlisted teams will be presented with the Galaxy S22 series to shoot and bring their ideas to life. The final productions will be part of MIFFest 2022 where a lucky winner will be in the running for an MYR8,000 grand prize. In addition, the grand prize winner will also receive a trophy and Samsung products.

The theme of the “Born of the Galaxy Stars” competition this time around is “Borderless with Nightography“. As the name may suggest, ideas and scripts submitted are meant to highlight Samsung’s Nightography features which were advanced with the release of the Galaxy S22 series. Scripts should be submitted by 17 April 2022 at the official Born of the Galaxy of Stars Short Film Competition website.

Samsung kicked things off with a showcase of the handiwork of four Malaysian Directors: Jawagar Samidurai, Taufiq Kamal, Ismail Jamaludin and Laura Low. All four used the Nightography feature of the Galaxy S22 series to showcase the themes of Fashion, Fitness, Romance and Music. These shorts can be viewed on the official website for the competition as well as on Samsung Malaysia’s YouTube Channel. So, get inspired and don’t forget to submit your award-winning scripts before 17 April 2022.
