Deadline for submission 21th of May

THEME

“Circus” can be widely interpreted: As artistry, ideas, inspiration, narrative, wild physicality and hugely specific details. Just as contemporary circus itself, we wish to set this first edition of the competition free from restrictions and genre-definition but ask you to be creative and curious towards the opportunities the mash up between film media and circus art present.

What happens when the circus body enters the screen? Which opportunities arise when highly specialized tricks meet the ability to bend time? What modes of expression does film represent, and how do they correlate with the infinite expressions of circus?

Capture this in 60 seconds, and you’re free to enter the competition!
