POOL DIVES DEEPER



POOL MOVEMENT ART FILM Festival Berlin has a unique focus on films that not only record dance, but through combination of physical and cinematic movement create independent film-choreographies.

Our new POOL dives deeper -article series opens up the depths of this exciting, experimental format through a variety of articles and interviews. We are curious to go beneath the surface of films, and to better understand the contexts, practices and imaginaries that give life to the artworks of the artists. 

POOL dives deeper is co-authored by Silja Tuovinen and Sarah Möller.

***

POOL dives deeper, unsere neue digitale Artikelserie, reflektiert die künstlerische Praxis an der Schnittstelle von Tanz und Film, versammelt Interviews mit Künstler*innen und zeichnet die historische Spurensuche für das Fomat POOL Shine nach.
Das Journal erscheint in Englischer Sprache.
