2nd INTERNATIONAL ECOPERFORMANCE FESTIVAL
Dates: April 28 to May 1, 2022
Format: in person & online
Where: Cine Bijou (São Paulo/Brazil) & International Ecoperformance Festival YouTube Channel
Faced with the ecopolitical challenges of the 21st century, the 2nd International Ecoperformance Festival continues the transcultural mission of bringing together transdisciplinary artists working in natural, urban and virtual landscapes to investigate in an ecopoetic and ecoethical way the tensions of conflict and composition between environment, body, memory and ancestry.
Conceived and directed by Brazilian choreographer Maura Baiocchi and organized by Taanteatro Companhia (São Paulo/Brazil), the second edition of festival received 210 entries and selected 48 films with a duration of up to 25 minutes and made between 2020 and 2022 by artists from 26 countries: Germany, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Spain, United States, Philippines, France, Greece, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Norway, Palestine, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Switzerland, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Uruguay.
Unlike the 1st International Ecoperformance Festival, held in March 2021, the new edition will not only continue the online broadcast on the Festival’s YouTube Channel, but also inaugurate a partnership with Cine Bijou, becoming part of the international cultural calendar of São Paulo.
Another qualitative leap in the second edition consists of the establishment of a jury formed by filmmaker Paloma Rocha, the advisor and coordinator of indigenous community projects, Marcello Kamaiurá, the cultural manager and director of Portal Museum of Dance, Talita Bretas, the doctor of philosophy in Performing Arts and professor at Khon Kaen University, Or Kittikong, and Polish filmmaker Wojciech Olchowski.
The jury will select three works (1st, 2nd and 3rd places) for the Best Ecoperformance Award and three Honorable Mentions. The visuals of the award diplomas were created by Argentine painter Candelaria Silvestro.
During the programming period, the festival will make available the Ecoperformance e-book with articles and testimonials from artists participating in the first edition of the festival and organized by Wolfgang Pannek.
