Second International Choreographic Captures Competition
The Winners are:
1st Prize and Cinema Prize
Willi Dorner/ Michael Palm (A): “body trail CCTV”
Choreographer: Willi Dorner Directors: Michael Palm, Willi Dorner
body trail CCTV
Based on the outdoor performance “bodies in urban spaces – a moving trail for a group of dancers” by Willi Dorner, “body trail CCTV” shows the intensity of the performers at close range. The spatial occupation of selected venues in the night-wrapped city is viewed with the unblinking gaze of official surveillance cameras in “body trail CCTV.”
2nd Prize and Cinema Prize
Shumpei Nemoto (J): “AR”
Choreographer: Shumpei Nemoto Director: Shumpei Nemoto
AR
“AR” combines footage of two bodies and thus creates unexpected configurations of human bodily forms. The potential for beauty is explored through the stylistic means of movement and stillness. Recognizable elements are contrasted with less clearly defined images in which the subjects are filmed from various depths and points of view. “AR” thus challenges its viewers to question their conventional viewpoints about the human body.
3rd Prize and Cinema Prize
Tim Flechter (NZ/CH): “Entangled”
Choreographer: Tim Fletcher Director: Tim Fletcher
Entangled
A system, consisting of two or more objects, in which the quantum states of the constituent objects are so closely interwoven that one object can no longer be adequately described without also describing its counterpart.
3rd Prize and Cinema Prize
huber&christen (Vanessa Huber-Christen & Lorenz Huber – D/CH): “Aside”
Choreographer: Vanessa Huber-Christen Director: Lorenz Huber
Aside

The fact that she has lived in this city for the past ten years has little effect on its strangeness, because she was born and grew up at the other end of the Earth. Seoul – Korea. Berlin – Germany. She could never adequately express her scintillating disposition in German, so she still speaks the language haltingly, perhaps even unwillingly, and nearly everyone in her circle speaks English anyway. She has friends, hobbies, favorite places, and also a high degree of satisfaction, but when she rambles through the metropolis again, she feels this foreignness inside herself. She roams amidst a city that’s simultaneously alien and familiar to her: a life in Berlin, a thoughtful walk with a soul from Korea.
3rd Prize and Cinema Prize
Ilona Pászthy & Julia Franken (I/D): “Vielleicht” [“Perhaps”]
Choreographer: Ilona Pászthy Directors: Ilona Pászthy, Julia Franken
Vielleicht [Perhaps]
Illusion and reality, communication in relationships, yearning and longing: “Vielleicht” [“Perhaps”] was created along with two other films in allusion to Pászthy’s dance installation “einszwei” [“onetwo”], which focuses on communicational patterns in the zeitgeist of the Internet and especially on aspects of a virtual love affair. “Vielleicht” plays with the yearning for intimacy: it is both the notion of a possibility and a latent choreography that arises in the mind of its beholder …
