PROXY ACT is now calling for artists to submit their work for the 11th anniversary of our international itinerant screening of short films in 2025.
We are interested in material that portraits a vision into a new world. A vision of change that triggers responsible acts for a global change that brings nature to the center of our identity. Visions of a new dawn for us as individuals, as societies and as humanity. We are interested in films that inspire a new dawn by portraying it or by pointing out the non-obvious of our current human state.
Our is always released in our yearly Proxy Act screening (Germany summer/autumn 2025). A cultural event hosted in Germany aiming to awaken new dreams and inviting to ACT as the transformation we need. Our screening could be happening in an open-air space, a classic Berlin cafe, a video art projection room, a festival and/or a pop-up stage. We work to bring films, music and nature together as a ritual of unique responsible act for change.
----------
Proxy Act selection is also screened throughout the year of selection in different partner events and venues around the world (England, Germany, Italy, Colombia). Our interest is to bring an inter- and multi-cultural audience to this films, creating a community feeling between the filmmakers and them.
PROXY ACT has partnered with venues and other festivals in Colombia, Italy, England and Germany. Other projects organised by us include ProxySYNC: a unique event with an artistic programme happening simultaneously in Bogotá (Colombia) and Caserta (Italy). We are looking to expand to North America, Asia and Oceania.
Our selection of short-films and media art has given our events a wide variance of cultural freshness to the way audiovisual material is constructed.
PROXY ACT is a collaboration of international artists and performers based in London and Berlin. We are constantly developing our own artistic projects through films and performances and wish to support those who work in this media too.
We work in productions that bring together performance, music, storytelling and video, having as inspiration the realities that native indigenous traditions still maintain alive.
Our last co-production is in collaboration with the indigenous community of the Arhuaco, for a crowd funding campaign supporting the liberation of land to be guarded and protected from abusive use of the Earth and of Nature. This short documentary was released in 2021.
