Tue Apr 30 20:08:05 CEST 2002

ANNOUNCEMENT
This year's 19th Kasseler Dokumentarfilm- and Videofest will take 
place November 13 - 17, 2002. The Kasseler Dokumentarfilm- and 
Videofest is a festival which aims at providing insight into current 
international documentary filming and video work. We intend to 
present critical, ambitious and entertaining documentary films and 
videos committed to both reports on current affairs and off-beat 
topics.
The video section of the Kasseler Dokumentarfilm- and Videofest is 
also interested in experimental and artistic videos, which reveal the 
use of video specific means.
The exhibition MONITORING - organized in cooperation with Kasseler 
Kunstverein and Kulturdezernat/documenta Archiv - presents media art 
installations and sculptures. The entries should include a detailed 
sketch of the project and a list of the technical equipment needed.

DEADLINES AND CONDITIONS
We look forward to receiving your new works - produced in 2001 or 
2002 - until August 15, 2002. If the original version is neither in 
English nor in German, you should subtitle you work or include a text 
file in English.
The selection will be finished by October 15, 2002. We will inform 
you about our decision soon after. If your work is selected, you will 
be contacted for a screening copy.

PRIZES
For the first time this year, the Cultural Affairs Office of the City 
of Kassel will provide a cash prize in the amount of EURO 2,500 for 
an exceptional documentary work from a young director. Documentary 
works in all film and video formats are eligible from directors not 
older than 35 years of age.
For supporting the Media development in Northern Hessen, an 
outstanding regional production is going to be awarded with a prize 
worth of EURO 2,500 sponsored by the local daily newspaper Hessische 
Niedersaechsische Allgemeine (HNA).
The Werkleitz Gesellschaft e.V. - Zentrum fuer kuenstlerische 
Bildmedien Sachsen-Anhalt - assigns the "Werkleitz 
Projektstipendium", a grant providing technical support worth of up 
to EURO 4,000. The aim of the "Werkleitz Grant" is to honor and 
support artists which works indicate in a very special way the 
innovative use of digital media.

INTERFICTION
This year's interfiction conference including lectures, presentations 
and a seminar focuses on the topic "arteFaction! Mistakes in/as 
Media". To be discussed are not only artistic productions with and 
without authors but also and especially difficulties and errors of 
all sorts occurring in transmission and the possible benefits and 
drawbacks of such manifestations for electronic culture. Watch out 
for the upcoming call for papers or projects online at 
www.interfiction.net in May 2002.

Again, the Kasseler Dokumentarfilm- and Videofest will cooperate with 
oVid - the internet database for experimental film and video art. For
