What does circus look like through the camera lens and on the screen?
For the Circus & Film programme, we are seeking short films that explore new artistic forms at the intersection of contemporary circus and film. A selection of international works will be presented as a short film programme at the CircusDanceFestival.
Together with the Circus & Film Network, which we founded, we aim to raise the profile of circus films and promote film as an independent artistic medium within contemporary circus. The network currently comprises nine festival partners from Poland, the UK, Italy, Croatia, Denmark and Germany. Following its premiere at the CircusDanceFestival, the short film programme will go on tour to the partner festivals.
The deadline for applications is Sunday October 25th 2026.
