Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin: A Nexus of Art and Moving Image

The Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin returns for its 2026 edition, promising a week of groundbreaking art and moving image premieres. Spanning venues like the Jeu de Paume and Palais de Tokyo, the event bridges cinema and exhibition spaces, presenting over 120 works from 40 countries. Highlights include choreographer Meg Stuart’s ‘Sulphur Edges’ and Rosa Barba’s film ‘Myth and Mercury’, both exploring the interplay of body, history, and landscape.

This year’s programme, 90% premieres, underscores the event’s role as a laboratory for discovery. With screenings, thematic focuses, and exhibitions, it offers a rare glimpse into the evolving relationship between art and moving image. The Moving Image Art Prize, awarded on the event’s closing day, further cements its significance in supporting innovative practices.
