Call for video artist for festival documentation

Every year the contactfestival freiburg supports the production of a video inside the Festival. We invite a different video artist for each edition, to whom we give a total freedom, regarding themes, interest, editing, etc.
We offer this way the event as a frame for the video artists, to communicate through their film, what was calling their attention during the Festival, and how they would like to share about it with others.

Who can apply?
Any video artist interested in this call with experience in filming dance.
