In its 13th edition MINA, the Mobile Innovation Network and Association, will present a public screening of smartphone, mobile and pocket films at ACMI and internationally via Urban Screen TV and MINAVault online.

MINA is the longest-running film festival dedicated to celebrating mobile and smartphone film-making internationally. MINA creates connections between filmmakers, communities and the creative industries.

The #MINA2024 International Mobile Innovation Screening will showcase short films (8 min maximum duration) produced on and with smartphones, mobile and pocket cameras.
In the last twelve years, MINA featured new developments in narrative and non-narrative explorations, in documentary, experimental and abstract filmmaking. In 2017 MINA successfully introduced drone filmmaking and in 2018 Mobile Cinematic VR productions as part of the screening program. Mobile AR, mobile VR and drone project videos can include project showcases and documentation (maximum duration 4min). Last year we introduced a Vertical Video category in collaboration with Vertifilms and this year Mobile AI productions as part of its Innovation category.
