Film / Curated by Taneli Törmä, Location X
The Finnish dancer and choreographer Taneli Törma, LOCATION X, is based in Denmark and has been creating dance films since 2010 in Denmark, Germany, Belgium, France, Canada, Finland, Greenland, Norway and Estonia. Taneli has curated this evening and will present a program with five dance films. This evening you can enjoy dance films by Eleni Pierides (FIN) / Jesper Ravn (DK) / Jan Vesala (SWE) / Constantin Georgescu (ROM) / Taneli Törmä (FIN). Taneli has chosen these films as examples of how he got inspired to choreograph dance on screen in the beginning of his career. STORY OF… is the first longer dance film by Taneli Törma created in 2013 in Estonia. The film is based on 6 weeks research residency, where Taneli was first filming 3 weeks and then editing 3 weeks. The originally movie was part of a live performance. This film project was a source of inspiration for Tanelis future movies and live performances: ZOOM, EPILOGUE, BLACK SIDE and JUMP. The film STORY OF… shows how Taneli started to choreograph film: action, framing, filming and editing. After he created this movie he continue working more with dance films. He was super inspired by others working in the field and their different approaches to film making – Constantin Georgescu (ROM), Jan Vesala (SWE), Eleni Pierides (FIN) and Jesper Ravn (DK). Taneli Törmä can not participate in this screening event February 25th, since he is working as choreographer for Tanzmainz dance company in Germany at the moment. However he wish to inspire the audience with these movies which were an inspiration for him when he started making dance on screen 9 years ago.
