Moving Body Festival platform is dedicated to connecting artists, mediums and audiences through art that shares a strong choreographic sensibility.
The COVID-19 pandemic affects all spheres of both our personal and professional lives, presenting the performing arts with enormous challenges and an urgent need to re-organize their activities, to rethink their role and place in society. Therefore, in 2021, through the instrument of choreography and the lens of the festival platform Moving Body, we want to find those new readings of the current environmental and socio-political challenges of our time, which will become a starting point for our discussions during the main program of the edition in November 2021.
The program presents films, or queer cinematic errantries, made by Rafal Morusiewicz, a queer researching artist, born in Augustów (Poland) and currently based in Vienna.
The PHI Foundation presents Severing the Impact on Memory, an online video program in conjunction with the exhibition Lee Bae: UNION.
Through processes of reimagination, preservation and transformation, memory allows us to narrate reality and a fictionalized memory, to look into the past, the feeling of belonging, and death. This video program explores the memory of what makes life tangible, and considers how both the body and nature experience, measure and translate the impact of change. This program includes videos by Patricia Domínguez, Jean-Jacques Martinod, and Lynne Sachs and Barbara Hammer.
Dates:
Wednesday, May 19, 2021 (All day) to Wednesday, May 26, 2021 (All day)
Laterale Film Festival is an international non competitive Film Festival of cinematic art.
