Kasseler Dokumentarfilm- und Videofest

While strict chronological considerations guided the selection for the 20year Anniversary-DVD, new thoughts were taken into account for the Anniversary-DVD "Most Touching", that was published on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the festival. After a restriction of length to 15 minutes per work, the view quickly solidified that further formal restrictions would not take centre stage, but rather personal connections of the festival curators: Which films were remembered? Because they were so outstanding, so special, because they moved us so much?

Touching points thus coin the selection, which in turn divided into three thematic programs: "Between Media", "Between Space", "Between Humans". They deal with issues that were recurrent themes throughout the history of the festival. On the other hand they represent the conviction and the orientation of the Kassel Dokfest: Passion for the cause, appetite for exploration, and a precise selection. The compilation of the programs "Between Media", "Between Space", "Between Humans" follow parameters of content and form so that their successions always produce a new "long" film, similar to the programs in the short film
section.

The anniversary DVD combines 21 films and videos, arranged chronologically depending on the screening on our festival. All in all these works represent more than a documentary for the history of the festival and the cinematic and media-developments but they also draw a picture from changes in this country.

For public presentations, the programm can be rented at the publisher. It consists of two individual programme blocks. The special screening DVDs have a higher image quality.
