CALL FOR ENTRIES
We now invite all filmmakers, artists, distributors, producers, gallerists, universities and institutions to submit their most current works and projects to the 42nd Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival. The entire film program as well as the works for the exhibition Monitoring will be selected from all submissions. All installations of the exhibition Monitoring compete for the Golden Cube. A jury nominates films from the program for the other festival awards. We do not charge an entry fee and pay a screening fee for the films of the regular film program.
Kassel Dokfest is taking place in a hybrid form. The Film programs will be presented on-site from November 18-23 and online on our VoD-platform until November 30. Online films will be geo-blocked and will be available with a limited number of accesses, for a limited time, and with copy protection. Filmmakers are free to decide against an online presentation.
