Cinematic Apocalypse: Storytelling for Smartphones

Monday, March 14
2:00PM - 3:00PM

Austin Convention Center
Ballroom C
531 E 4th St

Pp57739

Smartphones are bad for cinema. They shrink a director’s vision down to postage stamp-sized blur. They buzz constantly with push notifications, splintering users' attention across multiple applications. To many filmmakers, phones are not screens for watching movies so much as pocket-sized harbingers of the apocalypse.

Eline Jongsma and Kel O'Neill disagree. The Emmy-nominated documentary team see smartphones as an exciting platform for touch-based, multi-format storytelling—which is why they opted to make their latest project, EXIT, exclusively for phones. In this session, Jongsma + O'Neill unveil EXIT for the first time, and discuss their love-hate relationship with own mobile devices.

This session is part of Convergence Programming at SXSW 2016 and open to all Film, Interactive, Gold, and Platinum badgeholders. If this session is scheduled on Monday, March 14 or Tuesday, March 15, then it is also open to all Music badgeholders.
