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
the 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 main part of the festival.
During the six festival days about 250 films are presented. The
festival’s profile also includes the trans-media section
Monitoring, an exhibition of current video and media installations,
the workshop symposium interfiction, the DokfestLounge, the film
educational side program junges dokfest, the DokfestGeneration for
elder film fans 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

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.
