Calls Now Closed: Thanks to CIRCLE Fiction Orbit and CIRCLE Expanded Orbit Applicants!

The Calls for CIRCLE Fiction Orbit and CIRCLE Expanded Orbit are now officially closed.

CIRCLE Fiction Orbit is a one-off retreat for mid-career teams developing second to fourth narrative features, concentrating on development, production strategies, and collaboration within existing film power structures; in 2026, it returns for its third edition, held in partnership with the Film Centre of Montenegro. Find out more here.

CIRCLE Expanded Orbit is a new workshop open to filmmakers, artists and co-creative teams who creatively and critically explore emergent media forms (XR, MR, VR, AR, AI, games) to address gender in interactive, immersive and synthetic realms, launching its first edition together with Onassis ONX in Athens. Find out more here.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to apply, and to all of you who follow and support CIRCLE's work. Your interest and trust in our programmes are what make this community possible — we can't wait to share what's next.
