Out of the 300+ videos that were submitted to the festival 15 were chosen to be shown and we’re honoured to be one of them –  it will most definitely be a night to remember.

Despite having been invited to the conference to present a paper about our BB123 project, we really regret not to be able to attend due to lack of funding.

We are very happy to see our still-image from Strönd with one of our two dancers (Søren Linding Urup) used on the Conference’s Programme page.

Please check out the Festival’s site  - or clicking the name above and follow their FB page.

…and of course, if you are in the area and you like dance – you should go!

The Program features few of the who’s who in the Dance on Film world of today and we are humbled to have the chance to have our work shown alongside them.

We are also grateful for the kind words the Festival Organisers wrote about our work in their Press Release:

The three 90-second companion short shorts produced and directed by Ingi Jensson & Heike Salzer of England provide a visual treat. In “höfn/harbor” a bright red clad dancer partners with a bright yellow structure at Reykjavik’s harbor. Trees and logs at a site north of Copenhagen form the backdrop for “skógur/forest.” In “strönd/beach” tall grasses form the common mise-en-scène for dancers on separate beaches, one in Iceland and one in Denmark.

 Please follow this link to see the full festival program.

We are delighted that Fleet Moves has curated  Beach, Forest and Harbor as part of their Fleet Moves Film Screening.

All films featured are connecting with nature.

The festival takes place in the harbor town Wellfleet in Massachusetts and includes classes, performances and exhibtions.

Zena Bibler and Katie Baer Schetlick, organize this great event.

What a shame we can’t be there!

The four short videos of Bekkur/Baenk 1,2,3…

have been included at the first

Somatics and Technology conference in Chichester, UK.

Furthermore we had the opportunity to present a paper about the working process.

The theme of the conference is ‘The geographical imagination’ and it attracts over 1,000 geographers from around the world.

The paper is part of a session that reflects on the relationship between geography and art.

Two of our dance videos will be shown at the event and we are hoping for a lively dialogue with the public via web-cam or in person.

Movestream 02 Bending Cinema

Jeannette Ginslov interviews Islandic cartoon artist Ingi Jensson & German choreographer Heike Salzer, 11 June 2010 at the Dansehallerne Copenhagen Denmark, about their dance video installation work that resides on several sites and cities, in a variety of formats and also on an internet platform.

Is this a work that bends cinema? If it is, how?
What traditional modes of presentation is the work challenging? Do all these formats, platforms and sites, break and challenge the viewers perception of dance video? What parameters did you change in order for these works to exist on different viewing platforms? What kind of viewing experience does the viewer have and expect or are these expectations challenged?

Our installation Bekkur/Bænk 123 has been moved within the DanseHallerne (Dance Halls). It can now be found in the lounge of the Dansens Hus (dance studios) on two 42″ screens. We encourage everyone, who has the chance, not to let this opportunity – it’s a true eye candy.

Installation will run out the month of June 2010

Screen Moves presents SALT site-specific dance film installation BEKKUR / BÆNK 1, 2, 3…

Jens makes frames for Bekkur/Bænk 1,2,3,… from Salts on Vimeo.

We use four digital 10″ frames in our Icelandic setup at café Tíu Dropar.

To be able to fix them firmly and safely to the walls, we asked Jens Kristinsson to make for us wooden frames that would incase the digital ones.

Here is a short video we shot of Jens at work.
