Festival Description:

dokumentART European Documentary Film Festival is geared for young filmmakers who dare to approach current issues and/or controversial topics with edgy experimental and art-house documentary films.  A filmmaker is eligible to submit his or her film it it is amongst their first five films completed (including a graduation film).

There are competitive sections with Jury Awards totaling up to 10,000 Euros.  This is primarily a regional event showcasing German talent although the festival does run a special sidebar which focuses on productions from Eastern Europe.

The festival is organized by the german association "Latücht – Film & Medien e.V." in Neubrandenburg and the polish associaton "OFFicyna e.V." in Szczecin. The festival programs are shown at the same time in Neubran¬denburg, where “dokumentART” has traditionally taken place, and in Szczecin in Poland. Every year a different European filmschool introduces a part of the Festival's international program. dokumentART also offers a special forum for Eastern European films.
