What does choreographic filmmaking mean today? Together with POOL – Movement Art Film Festival Berlin, we invite you to an open discussion with artists working across performance and film.

The conversation will explore artistic practices at the intersection of disciplines: How do dance and cinematic movement come together to create a distinct artistic format? How do productive translations between the different art forms emerge? What new audiences or modes of engagement open up when dance and film merge? Join us for a moderated exchange on creative processes, perspectives, and current approaches.

With
Elysa Wendi | filmmaker and choreographer (Hong Kong)
Maja Zimmerlin | filmmaker and choreographer (Berlin) and
Louise Coetzer und Oscar O’Ryan – darkroom contemporary | performance and filmmaking (Kapstadt)

moderated by Sarah Möller | Dramaturge and Curator (Berlin)
