The Mobile Innovation Network

Aotearoa [MINA] is an international
network that promotes cultural
and research activities to expand
the emerging possibilities of
mobile media. MINA aims to Foreword
explore the opportunities for
interaction between communities, This years MINA screening program features
pocket films, mobile-mentaries and smartphone
content and the creative industries
films from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Columbia,
within the context of Aotearoa / France, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, Sweden
New Zealand and internationally. U.K. and the USA. More than 70 films were
received in an open call for submission.

At the time of writing this screening program the

iPhone 5 was launched. The video capacity of
various mobile, smartphone and pocket cameras
(including web-cams like Sony Bloggie or Go
Pro) without doubt has now reached a standard
that allows mobile filmmakers and creatives to
produce work for the creative industries and
film festivals internationally. This years MINA
screening also includes the work of first time
filmmakers from Poland and New Zealand
amongst internationally established filmmakers,
photographers and designers.

outnumbered the volume of mobile phones.
Most mobile devices (including tablets and
pocket size digital cameras) have a HD video
capacity and provide Internet connectivity.
Since the proliferation of apps five years ago,
new opportunities for creative mobile media
production emerged. Mobile filmmaking is
now an established format ranging from music
video to TV commercial production. A number
of contemporary apps feature location-based
max @mina.pro services that can create new experiences and
@MINAmobile representations of places.

Mobile filmmaking also provides prospects
for citizen journalists to expand the domain
of videography. Contemporary forms of
collaborative filmmaking projects connect
21st century citizens and filmmakers across the
globe creating new forms of digital, networked
and transmedia storytelling. As an egalitarian
filmmaking tool and technology, mobile
filmmaking provides access to a new generation
of filmmakers. In alignment with the ubiquity of
social media, mobile communication is shifting
towards an increasingly visual realm. Micro
formats of mobile filmmaking can be compared
to early cinema and actuality film, while mobile
short films resonate approaches
and practices known from the field of
experimental documentary and avant-garde
moving-image practice.
The background of the filmmakers, designers
and artists is as diverse as the program itself.
Mobile Media provides a dynamic approach
to creative media production and continuously
develops new practices and formats. While
some work could be labelled as video,
performance or installation art or documentary,
it is the original mobile form that is providing
innovation within these established disciplines.
By means of exploring this rich digital diversity,
the MINA program spans across a range of
genres from music video to animation. The
program demonstrates that mobile filmmaking
is a global phenomena. Beyond the cinema or
mobile screen mobile filmmaking is making a
contribution to art and culture and involving
audiences in the creative practice. MINAs
partner mobile film festivals in Korea, The
Seoul International Extreme-Short Image & Film
Festival SESIFF, and The Mobile Film Festival in
Macedonia provide means to develop a national
cinema in these countries.
Mobile filmmaking and mobile creative practices,
such as iPhoneography and mobile-mentaries
are challenging existing communication forms.
Some projects were produced entirely without
desktop computers. Next to this trend that
continued from last years program one can
also note the unique combination of tools and
technologies. Mobile phones and smartphones
are used to record micro-cinematography and
use apps to link mobile videos to video platforms
or the Korsakow database filmmaking system.
Some mobile projects should be understood as
vernacular videos or more broadly vernacular
creativity. The reference to Super 8 filming is
present and sometimes illustrated in an obvious
fashion through the use of apps. Some mobile
films explore classic cinematic themes and
update them for a contemporary context.
It is especially encouraging to see work from
young filmmakers who will define the next
generation of creativity. Mobile filmmaking
makes some HD equipment look like a
cumbersome academy 35mm format. MINAs
partner festivals Ohrenblick Mal and Mobile
Streifen in Germany are producing mobile
filmmaking projects in High Schools. Teenagers
learn to use the mobile phone as a creative tool,
which further illustrates that smartphones
and mobile devices are creative and
educational tools.
The aim of this MINA showreel is to
demonstrate the current state of mobile
filmmaking and its contribution to the field of
media, arts and design. As a new genre it has
achieved an international recognition. This 2013
screening program illustrates the innovative
capacities of mobile media. Moreover the show-
reel aims to inspire young filmmakers. While
we have the tools to make films in our pockets,
the challenge is now to convince institutions
and creative industries to embed this new form
of creative practice and storytelling into their
agendas, policies and day-to-day businesses. In
a recent interview by the Next Web I stated that
mobile innovation as an enterprise model that
aims to be sustainable should aspire and strive
to establish strong social interactions and links
through engaging local communities.
Mobile media can be described as an
ecosystem within an increasingly dynamic
mediascape. As new forms of creative
production demonstrate, mobile media has an
impact on the creative industries and will soon
become the driver with strategy development
and creative transformation.
In this context one should not only consider
mobile media as screen media like TV or
desktop computers, but a social interactive
and multi-nodal network media that links to
communities, provides new insights through
visual communication, while providing access
in many respects for a global audience. The
notions of sociability and connectivity are and
will be key in the future of mobile media.

Kaihei Hase
This is a video prepresenting a short poem of Japanese traditional style in flim.
The work Suichu-megane is Tanka Film. The work expressies Kaihels everyday
life thorugh movie cuts and a short poem. The cameral is held whenever it
is necessary to capture emotion and discovery in the everyday. The movie
consists of visual impressions caputred on mobile phone.
[0:00:41 duration]
A Short Term Effect
Simon Woolham
A Short Term Effect is the title to my proposed digitally manipulated image
and sound piece. The piece is a photograph from outside my old studio win-
dow, of a bird on an old telephone wire. The bird is then subtly made to move
as if with the sound of my mobile, its ringtone, feedback and frequency. The
idea of the piece is that the effects of this mobile is so powerful that it even
makes nature, the often unsighted and unmovable be effected. The piece was
made specifically to be viewed on a mobile phone for the full effects of the
piece. [0:00:14 duration]
Absent VIII & Sincerely Yours
Anders Weberg
Anders is an artist working in video, sound, new media and installations and he
is primarily concerned with identity. The human body lies at the root of projects
that formally and conceptually chart identity and its construction as a preamble
to broaching matters of violence, genders, memory, loss or ideology in which
personal experiences co-exists with references to popular culture, the media
and consumerism. Specializing in digital technologies, he aims to mix genres
and ways of expression to explore the potential of audio visual media.

I See What Is Here
Kristian Day
This is a video piece filmed using an iPhone 4S with a microscope lens
attachment and was captured with the Filmic Pro application (encoding settings
were at 1080p HD, 24fps,and bit rate of 50mbps).
Post-production was done by capturing the raw H264 footage using Apples
Aperture program and then was encoded into the Apple Pro Res format with
MPEG Streamclip. The footage was edited using Final Cut Pro 7. The shots
used in this piece were from Kristians very first test shots with the Mobile
Phone 60x microscope. [0:02:24 duration]

This Videoloop was filmed by an Sony Ericsson XPERIA mini pro.
TransMilenio is a urban transport and we decided to make a video about it

To Have and To Have Not
Kevin Logan
Kevins cross-disciplinary practice spans over two decades, comprising
installation, digital media and sound composition/design. He has exhibited
and performed internationally, has had sound works on compilation CDs
and audio-visual works screened in festivals worldwide. He is currently a
PhD student at University of the Arts London, where his research explores
the sonic through gesture and performance. [0:03:49 duration]
Slivers of Necessity
Marsha Berry
This video was shot on an iPhone using applications that evoke 8mm
cameras through the use of filters. The soundtrack is Heschs voice against
the background noise of a projector. The intention was to create a sense of
nostalgia so that video of contemporary mundane scene would be infused
with a sense of otherness the aura of time and the dislocated histories of
those who reside in suburban Australia
[0:001:49 duration]
Damp
Jake Ngawaka
This is a video looking through the foggy lens of a pocket camera. Jake
wanted to capture the visual indistinctness of the central North Island of
New Zealand, damp little town during the winter months, a physical parallel
to the quality of image captured by the device. Utilising the dexterity of the
device allowed Jake to show his take on the Waikato directly, in extreme
POV. He has captured the insularity of fog, the way that the external world
is swallowed into grey obscurity leaving only the immediate present, and
this requires a human element around which to anchor the experience.

December 28th
Ian McClerin
This video is a selfexpression of how memories work. Using a self created
montage technique comprised of over 3,000 Hipstamatic photographs
and December 28th documents an entire day in New Mexico. Shot on
an iTouch camera, the film stands as a testament to the cross-pollination
between digital and analog as todays technology slowly blends the two
until they are indistinguishable. The camera itself not only physically alters
the images but also begins to alter filmaker and audience perspective of
those images, similar to how the brain processes information and creates
sometimes-unreliable memories.
[0:03:24 duration]
Two Stories
Zaher Omareen
This is a short documentary called Two Stories planned to be a personal
portrait. The narrator, the filmmaker himself, used an interview technique to
tell two stories separated by ten years, addressing the issue of human rights
violations under Assads dictatorship in Syria

Patrick Kelly
This is an interactive documentary utilising Instagram Video and the databse
film creation platform Korsakow to examin Patrick Kellys experience as a

Indeterminate Hikes
Leila Christine Nadir
Indeterminate Hikes+, a mobile media app created by EcoArtTech, transforms
everyday landscapes into sites of bio-cultural diversity and wild happenings
through a series of walking tours. IH+ re-appropriates smartphones, which are
generally used for rapid communication and consumerism, and turns them
into tools of environmental imagination and meditative wonder, renewing
awareness of biological, cultural, and media ecologies and slowing participants
down at the same time. The app works by importing the rhetoric of wilderness
into virtually any place accessible by Google Maps and encouraging its users
to treat these locales as spaces worthy of the attention accorded to sublime
landscapes, such as canyons and waterfalls. [0:02:03 duration]
Digital Trust Hike
Paul Taylor
This is a video that explores the issue directly of the digital divide. Walking the
length of Taylor Street in San Francisco without looking up from a smartphone.
It was nspired by the zombies seen daily, shuffling by with their eyes glued to
the screens of their devices. Pushing this tendency to the extreme, a foam
cubewas donned that acted as a safety helmet, making the walker highly visible
to others while limiting the field of view to the phone in the hand.
Navigating via Google Maps, recording various data with a GPS tracker, listen-
ing to music to drown out sound, and live tweeted of the walkers progress.
Friends stationed at every intersection. When they saw the walker coming,
they called and talked the walker safely across the street. While immersed in
digital experience,the walker was outsourcing the act of paying attention to
physical realityvehicles, other pedestrians, buildingsvia the social network.

Jillian Roberts
The use of an iPhone resonates with ideas regarding social media and the
increasing way that people document their own moments on their smart
phones. Social networks and the digital sharing of information have created a
new way for people to communicate. Instead of a person having an individual
solitary moment, new platforms have been created to turn this private
experience into a public one, for anyone to view and critique.

On the Run
Tam Webste
This film is a result of an exploration into the relationships between play,
leisure and recreation. If play is a primary component of leisure then repetition
is the active element of play. Through the display of repetitious physical
activities, experiences associated with leisure can be observed in new ways.

Mobilarte
Gerda Cammaer
This is an iPad video. Mobilarte is fundamentally about the difference between
real time and experienced time, especially when travelling. The guide
track for the piece is real time (the TukTuk ride as is) complemented by
how time was experienced (= more fleeting) and how it was filmed.

The 57
Leo Berkeley
The 57 is a short essay film about a tram route in Melbourne, which was shot
entirely with an IPhone. The film explores the potential of this accessible,
everyday technology to create new and more diverse approaches to
filmmaking.It is the first of a planned series of short essay films that creatively
examine aspects of everyday life through the medium of screen production.
It is also designed to investigate the potential of the essay film to integrate
creative and academic practices, as a form of personal documentary that
incorporates critical reflection and an engagement with public experience.
