POOL INTERNATIONALES TanzFilmFestival BERLIN invites all dancers, choreographers, filmmakers and artists to apply with dance short films and dance animations to show September 07-10 at DOCK 11, Berlin. Its extended deadline is July 4, 2016.
POOL is a festival for dance films and offers space for the mutual exchange of experiences, development, training, and production prospects. It is a platform for films which picture dance not as a simple documentation, but rather create choreography exclusively for, and with, the camera. POOL focuses on the intense interplay between dance and the techniques of film, exploring the possibilities and boundaries of the art form. In addition, POOL encourages exchange with other creative areas such as fashion, advertising and music.
Films should not be longer than 30 minutes and also not a pure documentation of a dance piece. Links, for example on Vimeo or YouTube, are preferred for the jury screening.
The POOL 16 jury will create a film programme from all submissions and select the winner films, the PEARLS 16. PEARLS are the equal winners of POOL – INTERNATIONALES TanzFilmFestival BERLIN and will be honored with a price (5000 €).
Selected films will be screened on ikono.tv.
