PEARLS 21 – Contemporary Dance Films from the Competition
September 10, 2021 (Zionskirche)
POOL Shine – New York Traces
Featuring films by Yoshiko Chuma, Elaine Summers, Pooh Kaye, Joan Jonas and Meredith Monk.
From September 8 to 11, POOL will present a selection of fascinating dance film productions from all over the world, making the event a meeting place for creatives involved in the fields of dance, film, fashion and advertisement. The focus of the festival is on films that create independent film-choreographies through the intense interplay between dance and cinematic tools like camera and editing. Based on an open call with over 1000 international submissions, the POOL curatorial team has compiled three evening programs. The selected films – the PEARLS 21 – are on the same par and reflect the diversity of the genre.
In addition to contemporary dance films, on September the 10th, as part of the special format POOL Shine – New York Traces, the festival will present films that rose from collaborations between New York’s artists of postmodern dance, visual arts and the experimental film scene between 1960-80, including films by Yoshiko Chuma, Elaine Summers, Pooh Kaye, Joan Jonas and Meredith Monk. Furthermore the festival will showcase Elaine Summers’ film Two Girls Downtown Iowa (1973) as an installation at Zionskirche. The program will be accompanied by workshops with choreographer and filmmaker Yoshiko Chuma and dancer and choreographer Thomas Körtvélyessy, who is also in charge of Elaine Summers’ artistic estate.
