CALL FOR ENTRIES The Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival announces its 27th edition! From November 9 to 14, 2010 the festival shows the diversity and current tendencies of documentary work by presenting about 230 international documentary films as well as experimental and artistic works.
The manifold film program is complemented by three intermedia sections: the media art exhibition Monitoring, audiovisual performances and VJ-art in the DokfestLounge as well as the workshop symposium interfiction. Together, they create the Dokfest’s unique profile within the festival landscape.
We now invite all filmmakers, artists, distributors, producers, gallery owners, universities or institutions to submit latest works and projects to the different sections of the festival. Deadline for entries is July 19, 2010.
All submitters will receive a free festival catalog in November. As far as possible, we will invite all participating authors and artists to come to Kassel during the festival and to join us for discussion.
