Filmography

The Circus Filmography is the product of collaboration between students and teacher-researchers from the Department Cinema, Theatre and Live Performance at the Paul Valéry Montpellier 3 University. It is a continuously updated website that is open to contributions, listing all films – fictions, animated films, documentaries, series, etc. – devoted to circus or alluding to it.

600 references are available to date.
