The festival presents current documentary films and videos, the media art
exhibition MONITORING, as well as the interfiction symposium. One of the
festival's main emphases lies on current films and videos exploring their
subject matters with documentary means. The festival is also interested in
experimental and artistic video works. The exhibition MONITORING deals with
the current room-related positioning of media art. During the festival, it
displays approximately 15 media installations and sculptures, which will be
selected from the entries. The exhibition is a cooperative effort of the
festival, the "Kasseler Kunstverein" and the Kulturdezernat / documenta
Archive of the City of Kassel.
