ISFF 2026 - Selected Films

The first edition of the International Shibari Film Festival brings together a diverse collection of films from around the world, exploring rope through cinema, performance and personal artistic expression.

To reflect the richness of the selected works, the programme is organised into three categories:

Cinema & Narrative – Stories, characters and cinematic journeys where rope becomes part of the narrative.

Live & Performances – Films rooted in presence, movement and the encounter between performers, rope and audience.

Singular Perspectives – Unique visions and personal explorations that offer original ways of looking at rope and connection.

Explore each category to discover the films selected for this first edition of the ISFF.
