Spring NODE.L '08
In 2006 mobile phones have outnumbered the volume of film and digital cameras combined and industry research forecasts a continuous development for the next years. Yet no industry standards for production and consumption of the new emerging video format have been established. Simultaneously a proliferation of creative mobile media surfaced within the field of artistic practice and documentary filmmaking. In 2000 the first camera phone was introduced in Japan and with the London 7/7 events mobile phone video footage has situated itself within the media-scape. The University of Westminster will host the FILMOBILE conference, which runs in combination with FILMOBILE exhibition at the London Gallery West. The two-day international conference will take place in central London and will include mobile film screenings.
FILMOBILE is a network project bringing together the mobile phone industry, filmmakers and artists working with mobile devices. FILMOBILE is organising a major event in the spring of 2008 consisting of a three parts: a gallery exhibition, cinema screenings and an international conference. This event will explore the cultural impact brought about by new mobile technologies and initiate debates between artists, the media and the new mobile industry.
