5th International CHOREOGRAPHIC CAPTURES competition 2012
For the fifth time, JOINT ADVENTURES invited choreographers, dancers, film and (multi-)media artists to develop new aesthetic approaches and visual languages for choreography and film in a 60-second ad format in the CHOREOGRAPHIC CAPTURES context. We were searching for works that operate choreographically with the film medium, react creatively towards movement, leave room for experimentation and initiate unusual aesthetic dialogues with the film audience: "Expanded Choreography".
Deadline was April 30th, 2012. The awards ceremony and presentation of the winning films will take place on June 30, during the Filmfest Munich.
Art for those who didn't ask for it!
The CHOREOGRAPHIC CAPTURES art project and short-film competition was initiated under this motto by JOINT ADVENTURES with support from the German Federal Cultural Foundation in 2008. The goal is as simple as it is ambitious: to use unconventional means to increase people’s awareness of the art forms of film, dance and choreography.
A CHOREOGRAPHIC CAPTURE is a short choreographic film in the format of an advertising clip. The content of the film involves, in the widest sense, the themes of dance, movement and choreography. The focal point of the project is the international CHOREOGRAPHIC CAPTURES competition. This competition is held once each year under the auspices of JOINT ADVENTURES. The awards ceremony and presentation of the winning films take place every year during the Filmfest Munich.
The project’s website www.choreooo.org also serves as an interactive platform for a large circle of interested parties. It is meant to give this art form space for artistic input, exchange, networking and presentation, and to advance the interaction between choreography and media art.
The choreographic short films should surprise their audience at different locations. The winning films will be presented all year at the partner theaters between the film ads. With our partners’ help, screenings will also take place for current and selected competition films at festivals, events, venues and theaters in other European countries.
