New perspectives on an imperfect cinema: Smartphones, spectatorship, and screen culture 2.0

Author(s): Szita, Kata
Abstract

This paper discusses smartphone spectatorship with a focus on user participation, interactivity, and the fusion of digital media and mov-ing images. In the renaissance of mobile filmmaking and participatory culture, there is no longer a definite difference in the quality of cin-ema and mobile media tools. Instead, users’ embodied and social presences define the framework of viewing and production. By re-flecting on the sovereignty of smartphone film culture, this paper highlights the behavioural and cultural trajectories of mobile movie consumption, where content access merges with content production.
