In New Zealand, Royal Caribbean has launched what it claims is the world’s first Instagram film festival. Created by Hulsbosch and Circul8, a campaign leading up to the festival will encourage people to film and hashtag Instagram videos which represent “wow” moments.

The InstaFilm Festival, as it’s called, invites people to upload their “wow” moments using Instagram’s video feature via the hashtag #InstaFilmFest. Passengers, friends and family can also vote on their favorite short film captured anywhere, anytime not just on board a Royal Caribbean cruise.

Those films receiving the most votes will be celebrated at a special VIP on board screening event to be announced for February 2014. An expert panel of judges to be announced late 2013 will choose the winners.

I’m 73 and I can still recall every detail of my childhood in the 1950s but I introduced my wife as my daughter at a restaurant last week and the waitress corrected me gently like I was a child and my wife squeezed my hand under the table and I knew we’d entered a new phase where she’s going to spend the rest of our marriage protecting me from my own mind

I’m 65 and I wish someone had told me at 40 that the friendships you don’t invest in during your busy years won’t be there during your quiet ones — because I’ve got time now and nobody to spend it with and the connection between those two things is entirely my fault
