Save the Date: DOKUARTS Forum Oct 7, 2023
FORUM VISUAL ALTERITY
The DOKUARTS Forum "Visual Alterity" explores the cinematic view of the Other. How does the Self form as an identity in flux in the confrontation with the Other? Which aesthetic strategies characterize the ethical practice in the realm of documentary film? How do the arts and the art of documentary film give a voice to the Other?
Films, talks, lectures, live-essay, and panel discussion.
Friday, October 6, 7:30 pm – 11 pm at the Kino in der Kulturbrauerei (film screenings; tickets to be purchased at Kulturbrauerei in the 2nd half of September)
Saturday, October 7, 1 pm – 4:30 pm at the Haus für Poesie - Knaackstr. 97 (Kulturbrauerei), 10435 Berlin, as well as at the Kino in der Kulturbrauerei at 7 pm (screenings of Ross Lipman's films free of charge for registered participants of the Forum)
The detailed timetable will be available for download soon in the right-hand column.
The event will be conducted in English. Participation on October 7th is free, registration is required in advance at info@doku-arts.de
