Matthew Sweet looks at how the mobile phone and other pocket cameras are transforming the way we watch and make movies.

We've come a long way since French scientist, Phillipe Kahn, accidentally discovered that he could use his mobile phone to send pictures of his new born baby to relatives back in 1997; and yet, as Matthew finds out, we're only just scratching the surface of what can be done with film and phones. These are exciting times for pocket film. Matthew hears from artists, film studios and advertisers about how films either MADE on or VIEWED on mobile phones are opening a host of possibilities and shaping a new future for the moving image.

At the centre of the programme is a specially commissioned "Pocket Film" by director Gurinder Chadha, which will be available to view via the Film Season's BBC webpage.
