PÖFF Shorts – Festival of Short and Animation Films 2025 (11.11-19.11.2025)
What happens when bodies refuse to sit still—on motorbikes, in classrooms, in the metro, in worlds both intimate and apocalyptic?
These short dance films remind us that dance is not choreography pinned to counts, but the raw negotiation of being alive. Joy erupts in quirks and rhythms; trust hangs by a rope’s swing; tenderness mutates into awe, horror, laughter, revolt.
Here, movement is the present tense of existence: freedom pressing against sand, stone, skin, silence, schedule — reaching toward the horizon. These films do not decorate reality—they prod it, seduce it, resist it. They show us that to move is to insist: I am here, and so are you.
