What happens when circus meets the moving image?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short circus films from around the world have been selected in collaboration with CircusDanceFestival in Cologne and will be screened at OFF alongside the selected films from 60SecondsCircusFilm, each just 60 seconds long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circus is interpreted broadly: as an art form, an idea, a source of inspiration, a narrative, an expression of extraordinary physicality, and a focus on remarkable details. Like contemporary circus itself, the competition is free from limitations and fixed genre definitions. Instead, it invites creators to explore the creative possibilities that emerge at the intersection of film and circus arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From poetic visual experiments to thrilling physical performances, the programme offers a unique glimpse into how contemporary circus can be translated, transformed, and reimagined through the lens of the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presented in collaboration with OFF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROGRAMME \u2013 60 SECONDSCIRCUSFILM 2026 SELECTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHORTCUT<\/strong>
Jonathan Morell & Klara Mossberg<\/em>
An experimental circus film creating a linear track through the urban landscape of Stockholm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACADE<\/strong>
Milla Impola<\/em>
The circus show is joyful, but what about the lives of the performers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WALLFLOWER<\/strong>
Kompagni 47, Esther Wrobel, Sine Krag, William Hansen<\/em>
Inspired by the idea of the \u201cwallflower,\u201d the film imagines a secret life unfolding within the architecture itself. Suspended between gravity and flight, two dancers transform the church wall into a playful world of their own \u2013 hidden in plain sight and seemingly untouched by the rhythms of everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLOWN SHOW<\/strong>
Camilla Kold Krohn Gade, Dennis Hulmose Madsen, Lysser Kristine Andersen, Uffe Lindberg Wewer Jakobsen<\/em>
Three circus performers miss their clown friend, but when a mysterious golden ticket appears, their longing turns into chaos; until they discover that the real show begins when they work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ON WAITING<\/strong>
Gustavo Arteaga<\/a><\/em>
A stop-motion reflection on waiting, where time becomes material and the body slowly comes undone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROGRAMME \u2013 INTERNATIONAL SELECTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fountain \/ L\u00e4hde <\/strong>
by Circo Aereo (FI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u00e4hde<\/em> is a coming-of-age documentary filmed over twelve years on a bridge in Helsinki. When the story begins, Hugo is still a baby and Arsi is eleven years old. By the end, one has become a teenager and the other a young adult. Over the years, the boys share their thoughts and hopes for the future, while juggling balls mark the steady flow of time and the new cityscape of Helsinki develops in the background.
Concept, Execution <\/strong>Sanna Silvennoinen, Jukka Mantere | Music <\/strong>Atte Kantonen |Production <\/strong>Circo Aereo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les fleurs \u00e9closent \u00e0 l\u2019ombre
<\/strong>Mat Santa Cruz (FR)
A man who feels lonely tries to rediscover sensations and emotions by putting himself in danger. Between country romance and cowboy melancholy, dark danger lurks around every corner. Our protagonist seeks out the thrill of danger with almost calculated precision and care. Time passes and one poetically staged knife throw and balancing act follows another. The game with his own vulnerability takes its course and danger becomes our lonely hero\u2019s companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Branch\u00e9<\/strong>
Acting For Climate (CA\/NO)
\u201cBranch\u00e9\u201d is a unique exploration of circus and movement arts with a female drive. The short film traverses time and natural landscapes in Quebec. It is a poetic exploration of the beauty and potential of people working in harmony with nature, as well as the more threatening and chaotic conflicts of the climate crisis. As dwindling resources and habitable land bring about an existential collapse, the daring acrobatic formations and breathtaking falls remind us that the unity of nature and humanity is truly worth preserving.
Co-Creation <\/strong>Acting for Climate Montr\u00e9al, Cirque Barcode | Direction <\/strong>Janique L Robillard, Eric Bates | Acrobatic Director, Editing <\/strong>Nathan Biggs-Penton | Production <\/strong>Eric Bates, Janique L Robillard, Nathan Biggs-Penton <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affairs of the cities<\/strong>
Nuua Company (FI)
This short movie is based on a scene from the performance Kulovalkea<\/em>. The durational, repetitive juggling choreography with coffee cups was created to depict authoritative figures occupying themselves in apparent activity \u2013 yet accomplishing very little. The title draws on the old saying affairs of the cities<\/em>, historically used to refer to politics. Nuua Company is a Finnish contemporary circus and visual theater group founded in 2013. With its experimental works, Nuua has carved out its position in the international performing arts scene.
Direction<\/strong> Olli Vuorinen | Featuring <\/strong>Valpuri Kaarninen, Rosa-Maria Autio, Juho Yrj\u00f6l\u00e4, Merri Heikkil\u00e4, Maria Peltola, Jaime Allen, Nelli Kujansivu, Petteri Savikorpi | Cinematography, Editing<\/strong> Christoffer Collina | Music<\/strong> Katri Salmenoja | Production<\/strong> Nuua Company, Sirkum Polaris<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NITRO<\/strong>
Kallo Kollective (FI)
Nitro is a road movie far away from highways and roads. It\u00b4s the story of three batshit bonkers friends and their pink convertible half-built house. Nitro is a caffeine-packed frenzy of non-verbal performance re-imagining the role of a classic form of storytelling. This joyful chaotic clownkenstein<\/em> of a film celebrates the utter splendidness of throwing yourself into a task with so much commitment it destroys any hope of completing it.
Direction<\/strong> Christoffer Collina, Sampo Kurppa | Production<\/strong> Sari Lakso | Screenplay<\/strong> Sampo Kurppa | Music<\/strong> Sami Tammela<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Buonarroti Complex<\/strong>
My!Laika (FR)
Set among Michelangelo Buonarroti\u2019s masterpieces, the film transforms the ducal rooms into a dreamlike landscape where sculpture, circus and live music intertwine. The artist\u2019s monumental figures become both audience and participants in My!Laika\u2019s poetic, ambiguous universe, blurring the boundaries between stillness and movement, past and present.
Production<\/strong> Sarabanda, My!laika<\/p>\n\n\n\n
