Description Of Opportunity:

POOL 23 will present a selection of fascinating international dance film productions, making the event a meeting place for creative minds involved in the fields of dance, film, fashion and art. The festival is focused on films that not only record dance but create independent film-choreographies through the intense interplay between dance and cinematic tools like the use of camera and editing.

POOL was founded in 2007 and has over the years developed a unique curatorial line, combining the presentation of contemporary movement-based films as well as historical artworks in the course of the format POOL Shine – New York Traces.

Throughout the year POOL aims to collaborate with various partners such as b12 Festival presenting selected film programs at diverse art events.

PEARLS & ARTIST PRIZE

The curatorial team of POOL 23 will create a film program out of all the submissions that will be presented and shared with the Berlin audience over three evenings. The selected films – our PEARLS – are presented side by side and reflect the diversity of the genre.

Selected artists will be awarded the PEARLS ARTIST PRIZE that honours their continuous and unique work in the field of dance film. The available fee (6000 €) will be divided between the selected artists.

JOIN THE FESTIVAL IN PERSON

The festival’s aim is to be a meeting point for international artists, working at the interface of performing arts and film. All selected productions are cordially invited to join the screenings and their following get-together events in person. We support artists’ travel fees up to an amount and offer free accommodation in the guest rooms of EDEN*****.
