Kasseler Dokumentarfilm- und Videofest

The competition for the „Golden Hercules“ is open to all formats and genres presentable on a big screen. Space-oriented works and internet projects cannot be taken into consideration. The prize is sponsored by the Machbar GmbH, an agency for corporate communication with its head office in Kassel, and endowed with 3,000 €. The following works can be admitted for the regional competition:

• works whose director’s place of residence is in Northern Hesse or
• works whose directors are enrolled in the University of Kassel, the Kassel College of Fine Arts or a comparable institution in Northern Hesse or
• works that were realized and produced in Northern Hesse.

All works that meet at least one of the criteria above are automatically nominated for the “Golden Hercules”. The selected predominantly short works are shown in special compilation programs as well as part of the regular program.
