Overview
Dance & Music is a part of the On Art Film Festival - one of the biggest open-air film festival in Central Europe, with it’s 15th edition in 2025 (https://filmfreeway.com/OnArt) With each year we received more and more movies about dance and music. That's why in 2022 we have decided to introduce a new sub-section of On Art Festival, which would focus on dance and music films specifically: On Art - Dance & Music Film Festival. The Finale of the On Art - Dance & Music Film Festival is planned for August 2026 in the Chono Lulu, Park Pięciu Sióstr, Warsaw. During the 3-day celebration events such as film screenings, live music and dance shows will be taking place. Submit your film - if you are the author of: - a music video, - a dance movie, - a documentary about music or dance artists, - a feature film with a plot strongly connected to music or dance. On Art - Dance & Music Film Festival is dedicated to all dance and music genres: popular, ethnic and classical. Show your movie to Polish audience in the summer 2026. Be a part of On Art - Dance & Music Film Festival.
