DokuArts Festival

14th - 17th SEP 2006

The DokuArts Festival, a brand new festival for films about art and artists, will take place 14-17 September in Berlin. The IMZ is a partner in the Festival, which aims to be a major European platform that fills the gap left by the all-too common media coverage of the arts that is, at best, cursory. DokuArts therefore focuses on diverse feature-length documentaries that either explore art and artists, or that themselves possess an artistic quality. Moreover, many of the subjects and/or filmmakers will be present to discuss the work with the public.
This yearfs Festival will focus on 3 themes: Canada, Artists at Work and The Public at Work With Art. There will also be a Producing Films on Art forum, where professionals from the cultural sector will discuss the challenges involved in producing documentaries about art. DokuArts Festival was initiated by filmmaker Andreas Lewin and established by the Academy of Arts.
