The CHOREOGRAPHIC CAPTURES art project and short-film competition was initiated by JOINT ADVENTURES with support from the German Federal Cultural Foundation in 2008. The goal is as simple as it is ambitious: to use unconventional means to increase people's awareness of the art forms of film, dance and choreography.

A CHOREOGRAPHIC CAPTURE is a short choreographic film in the format of an advertising clip. The content of the film involves, in the widest sense, the themes of dance, movement and choreography.

The focal point of the project is the international CHOREOGRAPHIC CAPTURES competition. This competition is held once each year under the auspices of JOINT ADVENTURES. The awards ceremony and presentation of the winning films take place every year during the Filmfest Munich. The deadline is always April 30th of each year.

The project's website CHOREOOO.ORG also serves as an interactive platform for a large circle of interested parties. It is meant to give this art form space for artistic input, exchange, networking and presentation, and to advance the interaction between choreography and media art.
