As part of the event, the 10th International Mobile Innovation Screening 
& Smartphone Film Festival will be presented, including the new category 
of #EcoSmartphoneFilms co-curated by Dr Gerda Cammaer (Associate 
Professor at Ryerson University and co-founder & director of the Moving 
Image Arts international short film festival) and Max Schleser (founder 
& festival Director MINA & Researcher in the Centre for Transformative 
Media Technologies, Swinburne University of Technology). After the 
screening, Dr Karoly Bardosh (Associate Professor NYU Tisch, New York 
University) will present a keynote on Smartphone Filmmaking and 
21st-century Storytelling.
To understand sustainability, we need to broaden the discussion and 
include multiple voices in this conversation. We are interested in 
exploring Imaginary Futures - Ecological Utopia and Dystopia, the 
Anthropocene as a global discourse with local impact and the development 
of ecological literacies. As there is No plan B, we need to create one. 
Mobile Storytelling embraces the potential for opening screen 
storytelling to new forms and formats, as well as innovative ways to 
collaborate and co-create. In an inclusive, dynamic and provocative 
environment, our event will be focusing on exploring screen storytelling 
and its implications and contributions to an innovative and more 
equitable planet.
The virtual conference will feature:
- Paper presentations on XR documentary, mobile image making, mobile 
storytelling, smartphone filmmaking, media literacy and decolonial practice.
