Offered jointly by CENTQUATRE (Paris) and PACT Zollverein (Essen), the program Feldstärke International provides the opportunity to arts students from all disciplines (design, dance, cinema, circus arts, landscape art, visual and plastic arts, music, video, theatre, numeric arts), to work in closer collaboration.
The program is hosted for one week at each of the partners’ venues: at CENTQUATRE, at PACT Zollverein and finally at a third partner’s venue, which changes every year. For its first year, Feldstärke International invited the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, Los Angeles to join the program. Thus, Feldstärke International 2009 brought together 49 students: 20 from German schools, 18 from French schools and 10 from CalArts.

prepping our film

Instead of exploring the close neighbourhood of 104, parts of group 7 experienced other areas of the 19th arrondissement and found awesome locations for their upcoming film project. Furthermore, we all enjoyed very much the cold but also very sunny weather. tmrw we will finally and hopefully shoot the rest of our movie and start to edit it.
Was a good day!
