A celebration of creativity, community and innovation in mobile storytelling
SMART is a one-day film festival showcasing the creative impact of Smartphone Filmmaking - from no-budget DIY shorts to internationally acclaimed feature films.
Smartphone filmmaking has become one of the most dynamic, exciting and accessible areas of contemporary screen culture, lowering barriers to entry while creating new visual languages for cinema. The day includes screenings, filmmaker conversations and industry panels featuring award-winning feature documentary Motherboard, filmed over 20 years on five generations of smartphones, and Shih-Ching Tsou’s acclaimed feature Left-Handed Girl (edited by Sean Baker).
This celebration of smartphone filmmaking is curated by Victoria Mapplebeck, Professor of Digital Arts at Royal Holloway Media Arts. Two Royal Holloway graduates, Aamana Khan and Anna Novikova will show and discuss their recent films Deeper Underground and Homebound in a smartphone panel discussion on the day.
