 8th International Mobile Innovation Screening
2018 was another breakthrough year for smartphone filmmaking. Steven Soderbergh took

smartphone filmmaking to a reasonable box office success. While we will see more mobile,

pocket and smartphones films being produced by Hollywood producers, directors and

film crews, MINA shows the alternative space for smartphone filmmaking. As a festival

we screen moving-image arts, documentary and smartphone videos. We use narrative to

engage communities and drive social innovation. Creativity is the currency to continuously

redefine smartphone filmmaking aesthetics and their focus on personal storytelling. We are

happy for filmmakers to expand on formats, break the known rules and support creative

experimentation.

Since 2011 the Mobile Innovation Network and Association celebrates mobile, pocket and

smartphone filmmaking. The annual screening provides an overview of the trends and

developments in the international smartphone filmmaking community. MINA’s screening

focuses on experimental screen productions, moving-image arts and innovative approaches

to smartphone filmmaking. In its 8th edition we present 14 smartphone and pocket films, 8

smartphone films in the New Voices category and a mobile cinematic VR showcase. The Mobile Innovation Network and Association is a collective by smartphone filmmakers

creating a community for smartphone filmmakers, creatives and makers. In 2018 we ran a

Vanessa was thrilled by the ability to intuitively transform the spontaneous shots and video
sequences taken by her iPhone to an iconographic or dreamlike level. She started a mobile
video series on January 2014. The results are short experimental movies (art films) combined
with her own mobile music or the music of Orlando Bay.
2015 Vanessa was also co-editor of the Mobile Movie Column of theappwhisperer.
Some of her short videos have been screened in Italy (L’Arte è Mobile, 2014), Australia/New

flowers that I layer on top of images of real flowers relating both

A LITTLE LIFE
Created by: Chloe Samillano
Country: Australia
Device: iPhone X
What are the things in our lives that make us who we are?
Captured through a visual diary, the film is an exploration of the changes and moments that
occur in one’s life. In nature, metamorphosis is the journey of an organism’s change from
one form to the next. The film takes us through that journey as it captures the growth that
we, as humans, experience as we come of age and travel through the path of life. Because
this path consists of a multitude of ups and downs that in turn molds us, the film aims to
capture what it is that allows us to change in form as we move from one stage to the next.
The film is comprised of montage techniques, such as metric and tonal, that create the sense
of collected memories, while experimentation with speed/duration come to illustrate how
certain memories felt like. Moreover, the use of fragmented audio recordings demonstrate
how sound (or the lack thereof) plays a role in generating the film’s theme of transformation
over time.
Much like Jonas Mekas’ diary films, the film creates a portrait of a life by capturing moments
of memory, which evidently illustrate how the details make up the person. These details
are shown through visuals that symbolize the emotions we feel as we grow onto ourselves –
numbness, excitement, anger, sadness, serenity.
It is all in the whirlwind of our little life.

When various liquids and materials are placed above a speaker and a resonating frequency
is amplified, the substance comes ‘alive’ creating interesting and unpredictable waves and
patterns. The sounds and frequencies produced by digital synthesizers as well as natural
analog sounds modulates pitch and tone to stimulate different characters within the viscous
liquid.
The concept of the film is to explore the synthesis of two separate senses, sight and sound
and to capture a tangible and abstract film. I have always been fascinated by the way sound
works and how the mind can imagine a visual response to an auditory stimulus.
The experimental short is a product of experimenting with visualizing sound, specifically
music and how the sonic power of audio can be captured through a visual medium, film.
Through experimenting with this process and various different lighting setups, striking and
mesmerizing results occurred. An iPhone X which is splash proof, extremely maneuverable
and can shoot at 4K resolution makes for a very powerful tool to capture and document
this concept. The experiments resulted in impressive imagery with extreme close-ups and
foreign visuals making scale and space difficult to grasp for the viewer. Lighting is a very
important tool to convey the texture and form of the shapes created by the materials. The
materials used includes, milk, water, dish soap, oil, acrylic and water based paints as well
as food dye. The rhythmic editing of the piece follows the movement and shapes of this
fascinating matter.

Created by: Alexander Hodge

The room is dark and unclear when you first notice yourself in it. It resembles an auditorium,
however the details of the room appear more questionable the closer you examine them. There is
a large screen in the front, guarded by two figures who vaguely resemble a human form holding
spears. The content on the screen is familiar. In fact it is the only aspect of this world that is familiar,
and this juxtaposition is frightening. They are showing videos of everyday activities. It seems so out
of place. You now start to realise that you are out of place in the crowd as well. You are surrounded
by individuals of the same features as the people beside the screen; all with the same triangular
shaped head. The lack of expression that can be gathered from their featureless faces is another
source of fear. When you glance back at the screen, shock fills your entire being. The contents of the
screen has changed to a live feed of you sitting inside the auditorium. You cannot pinpoint the exact
source of this dread, however this whole situation feels very very wrong. You start to feel dizzy and
disoriented by the overstimulation of emotions. You run with all of the power in your body away from
the source of this pain, but as you do, you feel stuck. Your mind and body are in a state of conflict as
your physical being discontinues to behave in the way you rely on. You continue to drift deeper in to a
state between the physical and the ethereal, until the world as you know it ceases to exist.

C AMÉR A-ST YLO, KINO -EYE
Created by: Cameron Miller
Country: Australia
Device: iPhone 7
Two filmmakers - one carrying an eye, the other a pen - meet and explore their surroundings through
their individual cinematic approaches.
Two different filmmakers, who subscribe to two different cinematic theories, coexist in a public
square. Firstly, the camera as the Kino-Eye, as defined by Dziga Vertov, sees the world and
observes the potential for filmmaking as a means of reflecting the truth of their surroundings. The
eye observes this reality - first the buildings, then the stark contrast between the natural and the
synthetic, and the rush of traffic - then uses abstract editing techniques to fully express the bustle
of this location. The process of looking upon this public square through the Kino-eye reveals the
thriving nature of the space, and an understanding of suburban life.
Next, the filmmaker inspired by Alexandre Astruc’s proposition of the camera-pen uses the camera
to express any thought, utilising the freedom and wide potential of cinematic language to address
any concern that possesses them, fictional or non-fictional. To observe this space through the
camera-pen reveals a similar perspective to that of the Kino-eye - but this one now branches out into
visual fantasias, surrealism and lurid colours. The pen captures truth through creating it rather than
reflecting it, embellishing the images seen by the eye with illusory, equally vivid perceptions.
The two filmmakers coexist in this space, observing the same environment through their distinct
lenses, drawing different artistic conclusions that nevertheless complement one another.

happens when we change scale and proportion and how do we come into contact with other
bodies, both human and animal? Contemporary Virtual Reality production often relies on
increasing visual fidelity in order to enhance creation of deep-space 360-degree worlds. This
film considers what happens when visual fidelity is foregone in favour of the production of a
haptic, tactile visuality that draws attention to the material qualities of the 360-degree visual
sphere and the performances that are a part of it. PND advocates for low-fi visual artefacts
such as digital noise, over and under exposure, and glitch movement to provide a productive
way to create new, embodied, relationships between performer and viewer in VR’s 360-
degree space. At its heart is an autobiographical exploration of antenatal experience which
is taken as an alienating period where the pregnant body is measured and constrained in
ways that seem at odds with the public emphasis on both the “naturalness” of the event and
“pregnancy glam.” However, it is not a documentary of how pregnancy should be perceived
but rather a phenomenological inquiry into this experience that will resonate with some
viewers and open up different perspectives in others.

interested in exploring mixed-genre films and experimental films.

Malwina’s work is always trying to reveal the problematic truth about human nature; telling stories of
characters struggling with dramatic decisions that can or already have changed their lives.
SHE ROSE is her directorial debut.
Rachel has completed several short pieces – with a focus on documentaries and music videos Tumblr

that affect and are affected by wellbeing, education, mobility and economic issues. We address the intersection between these social elements and
the potential of technology. We focus on our industry partner’s real-life challenges, collaborating with them to address problems through applying
technologies and data analytics techniques. We facilitate teams to solve problems, comprising researchers, practitioners and community members from
diverse, appropriate backgrounds.

engineering, in chemistry and microbiology and apply this expertise to looking at
social problems together with social science research. It's really a unique kind of
perspective"

We are New Zealand’s audiovisual archive. Our purpose is to collect, care for and share the audiovisual taonga of Aotearoa.
Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision is a charitable trust. We care for an ever-growing collection of films, radio, television, sound recordings, props and documents spanning 120 years of Aotearoa’s sound and moving image
history. We are committed to the principles of Te Tiriti O Waitangi. We actively develop relationships with whānau, hapū, iwi and Māori organisations to ensure appropriate long-term care of and access to sound and
moving image taonga.

We collect and catalogue film reels, video tapes, sound records, props and documents and store them in climate controlled vaults. Our experts work against time to preserve original nitrate film, television broadcast
tapes and sound recordings, before they degrade. We digitally preserve audiovisual material to ensure that it stands the test of time for future generations. We facilitate access to the collection for researchers, the
media industry, the museum sector and anyone who wants to discover the audiovisual stories of the past. We manage rights and clearance processes so that images and sound from the archive can be re-used and
shared wherever possible. You can visit our library facilities in Wellington – the Media Library and the Jonathan Dennis Library You can attend our public programme of screenings and festivals at our Wellington
cinema and café, and around the country. We host events and tours, and hold education sessions for school and community groups.

Our history

Over 100 years ago Swinburne began with a simple premise: to provide technical education to a sector of society otherwise denied further education. For over a century Swinburne has committed to innovative
education, strong industry engagement and social inclusion.

The journey

The vibrant, multicultural and student-focused university you know today boasts over 50,000 students from all walks of life. In 1909, however, the first class enrolled merely 80 young men. Swinburne offered training
and education in plumbing and mechanics. We offered classes with the very first computers. Since the digital revolution Swinburne has been providing cutting-edge education. Our media programs and bio-research
are just two examples. We continue to focus on emerging technologies, industry engagement and flexible learning options. We ensure we adapt and evolve with the times. We deliver relevant education for our
students today, and tomorrow.
