The 42nd Kassel Documentary Film Festival is over, both, on site and online. For the upcoming edition in November 2026 DokfestOnline will broaden the festival and the cinema space to the virtual sphere once again.
Until the next festival, selected international documentary films can be streamed throughout Germany on the online portal dok@home for €5 per film. dok@home is the online film library of five documentary film festivals. Together with Dok.fest Munich, dokKa Karlsruhe, LICHTER Filmfest Frankfurt International, Doxumentale Berlin, and the Kassel Dokfest, the first joint streaming platform for festival documentaries has been created.
The selection grows with each festival edition. Many films are accompanied by in-depth film discussions recorded at the festivals.
Currently available from Kassel is Catherine Bernstein's film trilogy “Kassel, années 30: une trilogie allemande” (Kassel, 1930s: a German trilogy), which celebrated its German premiere at the 41st Kassel Dokfest 2024 after almost 30 years.
