In this year, the commissions of the Kassel Dokfest viewed more films than ever before: More than 3,000 works from 78 countries were submitted. Out of that, a program was put together with 271 documentary feature and short films. Many other festival sections accompany the extensive film program: The media art exhibition Monitoring presents 16 experimental and artistic works, in the DokfestLounge VJ art and audiovisual performances are presented at the festival evenings, the symposium interfiction discusses the topic MINDMACHINES and the DokfestForum invites to artist talks at Fridericianum. With the Hessian University Film Day as well as with the educational side program junges dokfest, the Kassel Dokfest offers hands-on workshops and lectures education, information and access to professional networks for up-and-coming filmmakers.
Since today a first program overview is online.
