“I really think music and movement – dance, you know – and literature inform my visuals. I think film is also based in
dance. The relationship between me, the camera and the actor is always a dance.”
Christopher Doyle
( Paranoid Park (2007), Hero (2002) and 2046 (2004)…)
“I born in France and grew up in Paris from a French mother and an Egyptian father. I have lived between Paris and Sicily which is the meeting point between my ancestors cultures. This gave me a great rise of inspiration.
Since October 2019 I moved to Rome (Italy) to follow an intensive Cinematographer Course specializing in D.I.T
(Digital Imaging Technician). I come from martial arts, artistic gymnastic, comic books drawing and my first profession for 15 years have been dancing. I worked as a dancer for companies in France, Germany and Italy.
As a filmmaker I worked for several companies for promotional contents. I have been directing my own work together with the « QBR Collective » basing it on combining languages of dance with grammar of cinema.
The work was lead by linking shots with architecture, dance with all kind of intentional movements, editing with rhythm, body with environment, dance and cinema through cinematographic references.”

It was a pleasure to host the seminar Cold Storage – as a case study, held by the two external mentors Thomas Freundlich and Valtteri Raekallio for the first Campus about scriptwriting.
Thank you again!
Cold Storage (2016)
Cold Storage is a short dance film that pays homage to the virtuosic physical performances and melancholy comedy of the classic silent screen. As a lonely ice fisherman discovers his frozen prehistoric soul brother in the ice, multiple levels of time and reality blend together into a cinematic and kinetic exploration of alienation, dependency and friendship.
Direction and cinematography: Thomas Freundlich
Choreography: Valtteri Raekallio

ARIADNE MIKOU
Greek Team
Ariadne is a Greek-born artist-scholar currently settled in Italy after having lived and worked in Columbus (OH/USA), London (UK) and Riga (Latvia). With a background as an architect, dance performer and choreographer, her research is located at the crossover between corporeal and screen-based arts. Her artistic practice, often in the form of choreographic environments and events as well as works created for the screen have been presented in various venues and contexts across Europe and the USA. As a dance performer, she has collaborated a.o. with Abigail Yager (Trisha Brown Dance Company), Bojana Cvejic and Christina De Smedt, Virgilio Sieni, Ismael Ivo. She is co-founder of futuremellon/NOT YET ART, a collective that enables her to expand her choreographic practice as well as to experiment with the curation of screendance (a.o. Screendance Landscapes, a two-day symposium; POSITIONING, a screendance program dedicated to the transportability of the camera and the body in areas that need attention). Wishing to deepen her interdisciplinary choreographic practise she embarked on a fully-funded practice-as-research PhD at the University of Roehampton (London), which she concluded in 2018. Her projects always informed by an architectural and choreographic thinking deal with oral history, alternative modes of archiving (“unstable archives”), as well as liminal spaces and in-betweenness, transformation processes and community making and for this reason, she considers mAPs project and the theme of Power and (Social) Mutation a rich context to apply her knowledge and expand her creative work.

KONSTANTINA BOUSMPOURA
Greek Team
Born and raised in Athens/Greece, Konstantina Bousmpoura always loved dance and cinema as well as an intercultural approach in the intersection of life and art. She studied Economics as a first degree and at the age of 23, after going to Barcelona for an Erasmus semester, she decided to live in Spain and Argentina for the next 15 years pursuing her passion.
During this time she made a new path in the research, direction, and production of documentaries on the subject of dance, politics, and activism through the lenses of anthropology. In 2008, after five years of exploring flamenco dance in the academies of Seville, she directed and produced her first short documentary Feeling from Outside about flamenco foreign dancers and their inclusion to Andalusian Society.
Her latest documentary Working Dancers (2016, 76”) tackles the question of contemporary dance activism in Argentina.
Both documentaries, through screenings, Q&Α, workshops, and academic invitations have enabled the dialogue between local and international dance communities in the field of labor rights and the demand for a professionalization of the sector. As an activist of the Gender Network of International Amnesty, Konstantina felt intrinsically motivated by the question of power and mutation in contemporary Greek Society. Through the MAPS project, her intention is to focus on social justice and queerness belonging in the changing Greek public sphere under a collaborative working process.

Is a platform for short films, documentaries and video installations.
The selected works are bordering on physical performance, visual arts, sound and cinema. The films and installations in the program are innovative and refreshing in their approach. Some films have challenging storylines, some are abstract, other installations deconstruct or render a poetic experience of space. Innovative and experimental kinetic use of the body and camera play an extremely important part in the process of creation. Concepts and ideas represented in the works are mutual and communicate in a nonlinear way.
They all have in common that they move and thrill us inside out
