ANNOUNCEMENT
The 24th edition of the Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival is
going to take place from November 13 to 18, 2007. On six days the
festival presents about 220 international documentary films as well as
experimental and artistic works. Moreover, the media art exhibition
MONITORING, the DokfestLounge with audiovisual performances and the
interfiction symposium do top off the festival program. Having this
profile the Kasseler Dokfest annually attracts both a regional audience
as well as professionals of the film and media industry from Germany,
Europe and the rest of the world.
We invite all artists, filmmakers, distributors, gallery owners,
universities or institutions to submit latest works and projects to the
different sections of the festival program. Deadline for entries is
August 1, 2007.
DOCUMENTARYFILMVIDEOART
The documentary film traditionally makes up the heart of the festival.
Thus, the festival puts its main emphasis on films and videos exploring
their subject by documentary means. The festival is also interested in
experimental and artistic works expressing an individual approach.
There is no restriction in terms of the running time of submitted
works.
MONITORING
The exhibition MONITORING is devoted to contemporary space-oriented
media art. 15 media installations and sculptures are selected among the
entries and displayed at Kassel KulturBahnhof during the festival. The
exhibition is organized in cooperation with the Kasseler Kunstverein
and the documenta Archive of the City of Kassel.
AUDIOVISUAL PERFORMANCE
The lounge of the festival presents a program of audiovisual
performances and VJart. This section is calling for live visuals,
audiovisual performance concepts, Live Cinema, sound performances and
any kind of experiments, produced in analog or digital media.
INTERFICTION
This year’s interfiction symposium (with lectures, presentations and
workshop-sessions) will focus on “PATCH_WORK: art, culture and
knowledge production between commons and DRM”. Artists, video- and
filmmakers, researchers, curators, writers, activists and others
interested in transdisciplinary exchange on the related issues are
invited to join the conference and to discuss their ideas and projects.
Call for contributions and further information: www.interfiction.org
AWARDS
A selection of the presented films and art works of the festival
program will be nominated for one of the four awards. The festival
seeks to support the best documentary submitted by a young director.
Therefore, the City of Kassel endows € 5,000 for the “Golden Key”
award. The newspaper HNA awards an outstanding production from the
region of Northern Hesse with its “Golden Hercules”, worth € 2,500.
This year, Micromata Objects GmbH, a Kassel located Software Company,
supports the “Golden Cube” with € 2,500 in prize money, which is
awarded to the best installation of the exhibition MONITORING.
Moreover, the festival and the Werkleitz Gesellschaft present the
project grant “A38”. The three-month artist-in-residence grant, worth €
4,000 and additionally € 4,000 for allowance in kind, is funded by the
Austauschfonds Ost-West of the Kulturstiftung des Bundes.
SPLICE IN
The 24th Kassel Documentary Film & Video Festival presents the special
program “/splice in/” curated by Elfe Brandenburger and Sandra Schäfer.
Proceeding from the specific situation of film production in
Afghanistan, “/splice in/” enquires into the representation of gender
relations in current film productions, particularly the first films
made by women, but also in historical films from the archive Afghan
Film and brings them together with filmic and political methods from
Iran, India, Pakistan and Europe. More information can be found at:

We are looking forward to your entries and to an inspiring 24th edition
of the Dokfest in Kassel!
Best regards,
the Dokfest-team
