Viewfinders: A Collaborative Travel Film Project. Seeing the World through the Lens of the Pocket Camera

Viewfinders is an online curation platform that allows participants to expand short video shots captured on smartphones into an experimental documentary that both situates travel images into the world and creates a world around them. The project is collaborative, participatory and immersive: by uploading one-minute traveling shots — video taken while on the move, for example from moving vehicles — participants contribute to an ongoing creative and conceptual investigation into the content and aesthetics of travel films made on mobile devices.
