MOVING BODY festival

Varna, Bulgaria


Mission
The mission of the Moving Body Platform is dedicated to connecting artists and audiences through art that shares a strong choreographic sensibility. How do we move? What makes us move? Towards what are we moving? How do we move from an individual towards a collective body shaping the future of history? How do we move in times of Catastrophe? These are the issues that underline any program selection.
For more info visit our website:
www.movingbody.bg

MB#8 | Critical moves | Screenings| Open call 2023
THE WAY WE MOVE MATTERS

Critical Moves Screenings is an international competition program in the frame of the Moving Body Festival with a focus on short screen dance films.

We witness more and more evidence of climate challenges, inequality issues around the globe, and a huge polarization between individuals and nations. These diverse illnesses are interconnected and together they are creating unpredictable dynamics.

It looks like there isn’t an easy exit, neither a safe return nor a new normality. We need to learn how to navigate our lives through uncertainty and remind ourselves that challenging times are also occasions of real possibilities and major opportunities.

With our Open Call, we would like to hear your strong critical voice!

The temporary collective body that we form every year has an increasingly powerful charge of energy. It seeks, provokes, quests around, and wants to see, speak and hear. It maps the routes along which artists and audiences move through art with strong conceptual and choreographic sensibility. The edition unfolds in a rich program that hides entrances and exits to a variety of contexts and topics which meets us with works in process, research residencies, artistic practices, performances, lectures and talks, screenings, and party situations.

We perceive the critical areas that we will offer to your attention as a rich full territory in which to explore, to stand and observe, to provoke, to stand up and insist that it is important - How do we move? What makes us move? Towards what are we moving? How do we move from an individual towards a collective body shaping the future of history? How do we move in times of Catastrophe?
Welcome to edition number 8ht!

Focus

We are searching for short films which represent experiments in video art mediums, and dance with strong choreographic sensibility and original concepts. Films that explore new audiovisual lines and challenge the viewer’s perspective are very welcome to submit. The category is open to a wide range of genres, with a priority on experimental, but also narrative, social, and documentary.
We are curious to receive:

- films that are tapping into Moving Body’s platform core questions;
- films with sharp and clear concepts;
- innovative and provocative video art works that push the boundaries of the film medium;
films related to dance, choreography, or movement;
- films between 1 - 15 min.;
- films not older than 2 years;
- films not submitted to previous Moving Body editions;
- max. 2 submissions per filmmaker

We are not interested to receive:

- trailers;
- recordings of performances;
- commercials.

A film will be considered by the festival's selection committee once the online form has been filled out and the selection screener link has been sent, before the 23rd of May 2023.
