DOKU.ARTS is calling for art documentaries 

DOKU.ARTS investigates the connections between cinema and television history and art, showing cinematic portrayals and documents about artists and art, that succeed in getting close to the work and life of artists. The festival screens, promotes and discusses documentaries from all art fields: Music, literature, theatre, dance, cinema, architecture, painting, sculpture, visual art and media art. DOKU.ARTS presents films and videos, which have artistic value themselves.

DOKU.ARTS specifically concentrates on films that are either ignored or given limited attention at the major international documentary film festivals, and on cultural productions that are gradually disappearing from public broadcasting and foreign networks. New, creative documentaries about art and artists will be shown, including portraits of artists, cinematic essays, inventive compilations and tributes.

DOKU.ARTS also includes the presentation of highlights from the Filmmuseum’s unique collection of historic and contemporary films. DOKU.ARTS’ co-operating partner, the Dutch Cultural Media Fund, will present a seminar for professionals.

There are no competitions or awards, but the festival invites all the directors to attend the screening of their films in Amsterdam. The in-depth film talks, moderated by Dutch art and film critics, are at the heart of the festival.
