Joseph Gordon-Levitt's "In A City" Film Arrives With NX1 Footage

In late October, Samsung tapped Joseph Gordon-Levitt and his production company HitRECord to film a short movie using its NX1 camera. That project was joined by a call for crowdsourced content, and the idea behind it all was to give a creative look at how Samsung's new camera holds up. Right on schedule, the final version of In a City has been announced by Samsung and released for everyone to enjoy — and, as always, we have it for you after the jump.

The Samsung NX1 is a relatively compact camera offering a 28-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor alongside a 50-150mm f/2.8 S lens and the ability to record 4K Ultra HD video. According to Samsung, the NX1 totes the maker's fastest auto-focus yet with 205 phase-detection auto-focus points via the NX AF System III. We've previously detailed the camera.

The In a City film showcases the camera's UHD recording capabilities while taking a look at seven cities across the globe. The film's soundtrack was crowdsourced. Said Gordon-Levitt, "We set out to make a film that speaks to a common experience, shared by millions of people, but set in some of the world's most diverse cities."

The team plans to show a behind-the-scenes look at the creation process and unseen footage on December 16. As for the camera itself, the NX1 became available to buyers in the United States late last month.
