   filmmaking. Last year MINA successfully introduced drone, Virtual
   Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) productions as part of the
   screening program. These mobile and smartphone videos can include
   project showcases and documentation (maximum duration 4min).

   - an open call for mobile, smartphone and pocket films
   - a retrospective screening - Past-Present-Future

   7th International Mobile Innovation Screening

   Smartphones provide opportunities to see the world in a new perspective
   and change the viewpoints of representation. With the rise of MoJo
   (mobile journalism), mobile-mentaries (mobile documentaries) and
   transmedia storytelling filmmakers, artists, activists and designers
   establish new forms of connectivity and sociability. Collaborative and
   co-creative filmmaking practices empower communities around the world
   to express themselves. With the constant innovation of camera
   technology and image/video processing applications, mobile and
   smartphones aesthetics are shaping new experiences and enable
   storytellers to cover new ground.
