Location Scout: Empty Swimming Pools

We’re back with our regularly scheduled programming! In today’s episode, we’re back on the location scouting game by taking a closer look into dance films taking place in empty swimming pools! Like our previous episode with warehouse films, deserted swimming pools have populated the screendance world with its desaturated backdrop aesthetic. Something about the hues of blue tile and barren empty sea floor sets up a new proscenium for movers to navigate through. We break down the draw to this environment and what the film is doing differently from non-pool locations. Time to make a very dry splash with this dissected roundtable. – FILMS Empty - dir. by Gerard Montero Barcelona, Spain @gerard_montero_ Maze - dir.
