This year, our festival expands its reach through a collaboration with Kontakt Collection and Autostrada Biennale, with a specially curated program by our artistic director, Veton Nurkollari.

As part of this shared program, Kontakt Video Portraits of Alexander Horwath, Ashley Hans Scheirl, Milica Tomić, and Franz Novotny will be screened on 2 and 3 August at Hangar, the Biennale’s central venue. The screenings will be followed by conversations with the authors of the video portraits, moderated by Vienna-based UK film critic Neil Young.

On 2 and 3 August, DokuFest will also present a curated selection of film and video works from the Kontakt Collection, featuring artists including Sokol Beqiri, Dietmar Brehm, Ivan Ladislav Galeta, Sanja Iveković, Anna Jermolaewa, Adrian Paci, (Ashley) Hans Scheirl, Mladen Stilinović, Milica Tomić, Želimir Žilnik, and Artur Żmijewski.

In the words of our artistic director, the selection reflects DokuFest’s long-standing mission “to celebrate the art of filmmaking while fostering dialogue and appreciation for the cinematic arts in the region.”
