Das DokfestForum wurde 2010 in Kooperation mit dem Fridericianum ins Leben gerufen. Mit Vorträgen, Artist Talks und Screenings, die sich thematisch in der Schnittmenge von Film und Kunst bewegen, erweitert das DokfestForum das Spektrum des Festivals um die bildende Kunst.
Das Kasseler Dokfest freut sich, dass die Kooperation mit dem Fridericianum unter der neuen Direktorin Susanne Pfeffer fortgeführt wird. An drei Abenden präsentiert das Fridericianum Filmvorführungen und Künstler/innengespräche, die sowohl Praktiken des Dokumentarischen vorstellen als auch thematisch auf die aktuelle Ausstellung „Speculations on Anonymous Materials“ Bezug nehmen: Wie haben die tiefgreifenden technologischen Veränderungen der letzten 20 Jahre unseren Umgang mit Bildern, Körper, Sprache und Welt gewandelt und auf welche Weise bedingen sie auch andere Herangehensweisen des Dokumentarischen? Diese Fragestellungen stehen im Zentrum des diesjährigen DokfestForums. Der neuseeländische, in Berlin lebende Künstler Simon Denny und die amerikanische Künstlerin Frances Stark präsentieren eigene Arbeiten und diskutieren im Anschluss über diese. Bjørn Melhus richtet den Blick auf seine Lehrtätigkeit an der Kasseler Kunsthochschule und den künstlerischen Werdegang seiner Student/innen.
