Kassel Dokfest – A Unique Film and Media Festival
The Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival is a yearly six day event and takes place in Mid-November. The Filmladen Kassel – an organization which is nationally acclaimed for its engaged work in cinema every year – is the organizer of the festival.
The film program, which includes short and feature documentary films and artistic- experimental productions, is the center piece of the festival. During the six festival days about 300 films are shown. The festival’s profile also encompasses the trans-media section Monitoring, an exhibition of current video and media installations, the expert symposium interfiction, the DokfestLounge and the film educational side program junges dokfest as well as the DokfestForum.
With the Hessian University Film Day, the presentation of a European Film College and hands-on workshops and lectures, the Kassel Dokfest offers possibilities for further education, information on education opportunities and access to professional networks for (Hessian) up-and-coming filmmakers.
The Kassel Dokfest ist known and loved for its intimate atmosphere, where the local audience as well as filmmakers and media professionals from Germany, Europe and the whole world meet every year. As a film and media festival with an international approach and a strong focus on new media the Dokfest Kassel is unique in Hesse.
For the 28th edition the festival had 11,800 guests in 2011, among them 550 accredited professionals. In 2012, the Kassel Dokfest will take place for the 29th time from November 13-18, 2012!
