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).

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.
