ANNOUNCEMENT
The Kassel Documentary and Video Festival takes place annually since
1982 and is organised by the Filmladen Kassel e.V. The festival
presents contemporary documentary films and videos, the media art
exhibition MONITORING, a Festival Lounge for Live Visuals and the
interfiction symposium. It attracts a regional audience, as well as
producers and professionals of the film and media industry from
Germany, Europe and the rest of the world by screening about 240
international films and videos that are seen by more than 6,000
guests each year.
This year, the Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival will take
place from November 7 to 12, 2006. We invite all filmmakers, media
people, and artists to submit their latest works and projects to the
different sections of the festival program. Deadline for entries is
August 1, 2006.
DOCUMENTARY/FILM/VIDEO/ART
The documentary film traditionally makes up the heart of the
festival. Thus, the festival puts its main emphasis on current films
and videos exploring their subject by documentary means. The festival
is also interested in experimental and artistic works.
MONITORING
The exhibition MONITORING is devoted to contemporary space-oriented
media art. Around 15 media installations and sculptures are selected
among the entries and displayed at Kassel KulturBahnhof during the
festival. The exhibition is organised in cooperation with the
Kasseler Kunstverein and the documenta Archive of the City of Kassel.
AWARDS
Part of the introduced art works of the festival’s program will be
nominated for one of the four awards. The newspaper HNA recognizes an
outstanding production from the region of Northern Hesse with its
"Golden Hercules", worth Euro 2,500. The festival seeks to support
the best documentary submitted by a young director. Therefore, the
City of Kassel sponsors for the first time Euro 5,000 for the "Golden
Key" award. "Ritter Sport" supports the "Golden Cube" (Euro 2,500)
which is awarded to the best installation of the exhibition
MONITORING. Additionally, the festival and the Werkleitz Gesellschaft
present the grant "A38". The three-month artist-in-residence grant,
worth Euro 4,000 and, additionally, Euro 4,000 for allowance in kind,
is supported by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (East-West Exchange
Program).
INTERFICTION
This year’s interfiction symposium (including lectures, presentations
and a workshop) is dedicated to prosumer culture - DIY-production
within an arena of consumption. Researchers, writers and others
interested in transdisciplinary exchange on the related issue are
invited to join the conference and to discuss their ideas and
projects. For further information and the separate entry form please

LIVE VISUALS
The lounge of the festival presents a program of audio-visual
performances and VJ-art. Concepts for Live Cinema, music and
experiments are welcome.
