[Commlist] Conference: Innovative Planet Go Mobile – Stay Sustainable

The second *Mobile Studies Congress* will take place from the 13th to 
15th November 2021 at Swinburne University of Technology (Melbourne) 
Hawthorn Campus and the University of Nottingham Ningbo China. Due to 
international travel restrictions, we are collaborating online. The 
theme for the second edition is *Go Mobile – Stay Sustainable*.
The virtual conference will feature paper presentations, a panel 
discussion on Polyphonic documentary storytelling & sustainability with 
Dr Judith Aston (Associate Professor Interactive & Immersive Media at 
UWE Bristol) and Dr Stefano Odorico (Reader in Contemporary Screen Media 
at Leeds Trinity University), project showcases, PhD research project 
panels and workshops. Participation can be in person, live online or via 
pre-recorded contributions.
As part of the event, the */10th International Mobile Innovation 
Screening/* 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). Before 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.
