TIMETABLE

TANZAHOi is bringing, for the sixth year, international short dance films to Metropolis Kino in November. The selected films for the main program have been curated under five themes: dance as ritual, identity, nature and environments, beyond body and space, and social issues. These themes are established from the common concepts discovered between films that applied through the annual open call. The Panorama Special Program features, additionally, a selection of films which lay outside of these common concepts.

Web3.0 represents an internet, where power is distributed rather than centralized. Blockchain technology, known for transparent transactions and protection, play a role in this context.

The festival will host a discussion on Web3.0 and the possibilities of bringing the concept of decentralization into festival organization. Invited to the panel are artists and experts who utilize Web3.0 tools, like NFTs, in their creative work.

The panel guests, coming from the fields of dance film, AR, VR, and AI will give insight into and explore how decentralization can impact creativity and curation.
