Proxy Act Festival

PROXY ACT is now calling for artists to submit their work for the eighth season of our international exhibition and screening events in 2022. We are interested in material that portraits a vision into a new world. A vision of change that triggers responsible acts for a global change that brings nature to the center of our identity. A collection of new ways of living within efficiency, sufficiency and unity. Our selection will be released in our yearly Proxy Act festival (Germany, summer 2022) joining forces with DUKA Film Festival. A unique film festival hosted in a Neo-gothic castle built in 1840 in Brandenburg Germany. With an open-air screen, a main-hall screen, a video art projection room and a stage for live performances, we want to bring films, music and nature together in a unique responsible act for change. Proxy Act selection is also screened throughout the year of selection in different partner events and venues around the world (England, Germany, Italy, Colombia, S. Korea and looking into Greece soon). Our interest is to bring an inter- and multi-cultural audience to this films, creating a community feeling between the filmmakers and them. PROXY ACT has partnered with venues and other festivals in Colombia, Italy, England and Germany. Other projects organised by us include ProxySYNC: a unique event with an artistic programme happening simultaneously in Bogotá (Colombia) and Caserta (Italy). We are looking to expand to North America, Asia and Oceania. Our selection of short-films and media art has given our events a wide variance of cultural freshness to the way audiovisual material is constructed. PROXY ACT is a collaboration of international artists and performers based in London and Berlin. We are constantly developing our own artistic projects through films and performances. We work in productions that bring together performance, music, storytelling and video, having as inspiration the realities that native indigenous traditions still maintain alive. Our last co-production is in collaboration with the indigenous community of the Arhuaco, for a crowd funding campaign supporting the liberation of land to be guarded and protected from abusive use of the Earth and of Nature. This short documentary was released in 2021. TRAILER: https://vimeo.com/415357399
