<div>____________________________</div>
<div>Mobile, smartphone and pocket filmmaking is a global phenomenon with distinctive<br/>
festivals, filmmakers and creatives that are defining an original film form. Smartphone<br/>
Filmmaking: Theory and Practice explores the diverse approaches towards smartphone<br/>
filmmaking and provides an overview of the international smartphone filmmaking<br/>
community. The interviews with smartphone filmmakers, entrepreneurs, creative<br/>
technologists, storytellers, educators and smartphone film festival directors provide a<br/>
source of inspiration and insights for professionals, emerging filmmakers and rookies who<br/>
would like to join this creative community.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>While not every story might be appropriate to be realized with a mobile device or<br/>
smartphone, if working with communities, capturing locations or working in the domain<br/>
of personal or first-person filmmaking, the smartphone or mobile device should be<br/>
considered as the camera of choice. The mobile specificity is expressed through<br/>
accessibility, mobility and its intimate and immediate qualities. These smartphone<br/>
filmmaking-specific characteristics and personal forms of crafting experiences contribute<br/>
to a formation of new storytelling approaches. Stylistic developments of vertical video and<br/>
collaborative processes in smartphone filmmaking are evolving into hybrid formats that<br/>
resonate in other film forms.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This book not only develops a framework for the analysis of smartphone filmmaking but also<br/>
reviews the contemporary scholarship and directions within the creative arts and the creative<br/>
industries. Smartphone Filmmaking: Theory and Practice initiates a conversation on current<br/>
trends and discusses its impact on adjacent disciplines and recent developments in emerging<br/>
media and screen production, such as Mobile XR (extended reality).</div>
<div> </div>

<div>a fascinating look at a transformations in filmmaking.’</div>
