Półwiejska 42) will hold the 10th edition of the Short Waves Festival, an international showcase of short film on movement and dance. Screenings in clude films from all over the world, exposing the audience to immense possibilities of physical expression and film portrayal. This year we have selected 23 titles from 14 countries, which will be seeking appreciation of both the Jury and the audience. The program includes fiction, documentaries, animations, experimental projects and choreographic impressions. There are reflective works, but also films meant to amuse. Just like every year, the program will be filled with dance, corporal narratives and unexpected searches in movement.

Hence, for the 10th edition of the festival, in addition to the competition screenings of Dances with Camera, we have also prepared a special sh owcase of Polish dance films, Polish Moves (21 March, 3 pm, Kino Muza, ul.
