International Mobile Storytelling Congress (IMSC)
https://www.nottingham.edu.cn/en/internationalcommunications/international-mobile-storytelling-congress.aspx

The University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), the Mobile Innovation 
Network & Association (MINA) and Mobile Studies International (MSI) 
collaborate to initiate an event for the world of mobile storytellers: 
International Mobile Storytelling Congress (IMSC). Consisting of 
workshops, a conference, and a smartphone film festival, the congress 
aims to promote mobile storytelling for effective communication in 
different areas ranging from community and civic engagement to new forms 
of storytelling, creativity and developments towards story making 
(Schleser and Berry 2018) and/or storyliving (Google New Lab 2017).
To be held on 22-24 November 2019 in Ningbo, China, IMSC focuses mobile, 
smartphone and pocket filmmaking, mobile innovation and mobile 
creativity. IMSC provides a forum for practitioners and scholars to 
showcase projects and discuss changes, challenges and chances of mobile 
storytelling including, but not limited to the following areas:

MOBILE AESTHETICS: Mobile digital art, iPhonography and smartphone 
filmmaking
MOBILE INTERACTIVITY: Installation, locative media art and live AV 
performances
MOBILE MEDIA PRODUCTION: Distribution, collaboration and co-creation
MOBILE SOUND: Music production, creative process & mobile instruments
MOBILE DATA & Mobile AI: computational creativity & Artificial Intelligence
MOBILE AR: Mobile Augmented Reality
MOBILE VR: Mobile Virtual Reality
MOBILE MR: Mobile Mixed Reality
MOBILE STORY: Storytelling, nonfiction, documentary film and media

This call is interested in storytelling and its broad application in the 
digital world. We see narrative and non-narrative methods as innovation 
sandboxes to illuminate community engagement and creative 
transformation(s). We aim for a combination of theoretical and creative 
practice research explorations responding to and interacting with the 
opportunities and potential of emerging media and screen production. 
Presentations and showcases can include work-in-progress, project 
presentations, academic papers and conceptual provocations or pose 
questions at the intersection of storytelling and screen production. We 
welcome proposals for workshops to run in conjunction with the 
International Mobile Storytelling Congress (IMSC). Paper & project 
abstracts will be double blind peer reviewed. We accept video 
presentations but require presenters to join a Q&A session via Adobe 
Connect.
Selected academic papers will be published as a volume (with the 
tentative title of Advances in Mobile Storytelling: Research and 
Practice co-edited by Schleser and Xu) of a book series of IGI Global 
while selected projects will be showcased by the 8th Mobile Innovation 
and Mobile Creativity Symposium and the 9th International Mobile, Pocket 
and Smartphone Film Screening & Festival.
