The 18th edition of POOL will present a selection of inspiring dance film productions – reflections and resonances of our times, imagination, and celebration through body and movement in the realm of film
The festival opens a space for exchange among artists from various fields who explore the interplay between dance, film, visual art, music, and fashion, providing the audience with kinesthetic experiences through the moving canvas.
Founded in 2007, POOL has developed a unique curatorial line, combining the presentation of current movement-based films next to historical artworks in the format POOL Shine – New York Traces.

Die 18. Ausgabe von POOL präsentiert eine Auswahl inspirierender Tanzfilmproduktionen und ist Treffpunkt für Künstler*innen aus Tanz, Film und Musik sowie der Kunst- und Modeszene.
Der Fokus des Festivals liegt auf Filmen, die aus dem engen Zusammenspiel filmischer und tänzerischer Bewegung eigenständige Filmchoreographien entstehen lassen – kritische Reflexionen, Resonanzen und Imaginationen mittels Körper und Bewegung auf der Leinwand.
PROGRAM AND PEARLS
Curated from our artistic network, through a call for submissions, and in collaboration with guest curators, the festival features current artistic positions and perspectives in dance film. The selected films, our PEARLS, are presented side by side over three evenings and reflect the diversity of the dance film format and its themes.
ARTIST FEE
Each production shown at the festival receives an artist fee of € 180 (net).
JOIN THE FESTIVAL IN PERSON
The festival’s aim is to be a meeting point for artists working at the interface of performing arts and film. All selected productions are cordially invited to join the screenings and their following get-together events in person. We support artists’ travel fees up to an amount and offer free accommodation in the guest rooms of EDEN*****.
PARTNERS & COLLABORATIONS
