DOKU.ARTS screens documentaries on the arts and on artists from all over the world and across all genres, such as architecture, visual art, music, literature, theatre, dance, cinema, and photography.

As a time-based medium, documentaries are ideally suited for capturing and reconstructing artistic works. Our 2013 programme focuses mainly on compilation films and new documentaries on art and artists working with archive material. In addition to compilations and archive art films, a special highlight of this year's programme will be a section comprising North African and Arab films on art.
