Most Touching - Anniversary DVD



Now available:

The 25th Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival presents:
The DVD: Most touching, 2008

While strict chronological considerations guided the selection for the 20 year Anniversary-DVD (each Dokfest year was represented by one film), new thoughts were taken into account for the Anniversary-DVD "Most Touching". After a restriction of length to 15 minutes per work, the view quickly solified that further formal restrictions would not take centre stage, but rather personal connections of the festival curators: Which films were remembered? Because they were so outstanding, so special, because they moved us so much? Furthermore, a festival such as the Kassel Dokfest always creates an interconnection between the film-creators and the audience, between the film and reality, between people and their habitats.

Touching points thus coin the selection, which in turn divided into three thematic programs: "Between Media", "Between Space", "Between Humans". They deal with issues that were recurrent themes throughout the history of the festival. On the other hand they represent the confiction and the orientation of the Kassel Dokfest: Passion for the cause, appetite for exploration, and a precise selection. The compilation of the programs follow parameters of content and form so that their successions always produce a new "long" film, similar to the programs in the short film section.

Please also view my "A thousand reasons why to become a socialist. Part I" in this selection!
