dokumentarfilmwoche hamburg

In the page's words:

dokumentarfilmwoche hamburg is the only festival in the region that specializes entirely in documentary film and is a meeting place for those interested in documentary film as well as a platform for the local film culture. The festival sees itself as a forum for documentary films that are demanding in terms of form and content: for films that do not merely strive to clarify content with their critical approach, but rather find artistic forms that question inscribed codes and explore the possibilities of the documentary aesthetically and politically.

A wide range of productions will be shown, ranging from experimental documentaries made without the participation of broadcasters or funding to outstanding international co-productions. The program provides insights into the diverse work of the regional, German and international scene. As talking about documentary films is important to us in addition to showing them, we invite the filmmakers to every event and try to facilitate their participation.

Die 21. dokumentarfilmwoche findet vom 23. bis 28. April statt. Festival-Kinos sind das Metropolis, B-Movie, 3001 Kino, Lichtmess und fux-Lichtspiele. Das Festivalzentrum befindet sich in der fux eg in Altona.
