Movi|mentale Festival 2026
Directed by Interno5 in collaboration with Capodimonte Museum Naples )
Artistic Direction Antonello Tudisco

The theme — Body & Environment
The relationship between body and environment — between the performer's gesture and the space they inhabit — is the core of MOVIMENTALE 2026. A relationship expressed through two complementary natures.

The natural environment, in which the body is not a master but part of a larger, ancient, and living system. And the built environment — cities, architectures, non-places — man-made spaces layered with meaning: power, history, exclusion, belonging.

We encourage works in which the choice of location is not incidental but necessary, and in which the performer's body and the space share an authentic, tense, poetic, or political relationship.

The selected videos will be screened on 1st- 4th June 2026 at the Capodimonte Museum in Naples
All selected films will be eligible to receive the Jury Prize and an audience special mention award.
