DOK Talks

Sensitivity Screening – Unlearning the Past
Wednesday, 11/10, 16:00 | Propsteikirche St. Trinitatis

The rethinking of colonial history, including the long-suppressed German one, is increasingly present in documentaries and their critique. This is reflected in the latest edition of DOK Leipzig. How do we deal with colonial images and colonial language, and who may or should take possession of these images? How do we find a sensitive way of dealing with the legacies of colonialism without resorting to racist stereotypes?

Moderator:
Djamila Grandits 

Guests:
Anna Lauenstein, “Showhouse”
Susanne Weirich, “Make Up the World”
Ben Young, “The Wages of John Pernia”

Society, Media, Stereotypes – Who influences Whom?
Thursday, 12/10 13:00 | Propsteikirche St. Trinitatis

The abbreviation FLINTA* stands for Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-binary, Trans and Agender people. Which stereotypes are imposed on these people by a media dominated by cis men? Which images are used by mass media in this context? How can artistic cinematic confrontations create social change? How can we use film to free ourselves from one-sided depictions of abortion, sexual abuse, femicide and taboos?

Moderator:
Borjana Gaković

Guests: 
Franzis Kabisch, “getty abortions”
Gitti Grüter, “Sick Girls”
Joana Claude, “Deliverance”
Mar Maremoto, “Draw for Change: We Exist, We Resist”

animation@DOK Leipzig – Challenge Feature-Length Film
Friday, 13/10 11:00 | Propsteikirche St. Trinitatis

Feature-length animated films place their own demands on the creative process as well as on funding. The new competition for animated films at DOK Leipzig challenges us to take a fresh look at the longer form. How does the approach differ from making an animated short film? Motivation, development, artistic freedom, terms of production and financing are topics we would like to discuss with animation filmmakers.

Moderator: 
Franka Sachse

Guests: 
Isabel Herguera, director “Sultana’s Dream”
Fabian Driehorst, producer “Sultana’s Dream”
Katrin Rothe, director “Johnny & Me”
Joan Tomàs Monfort, director “Tender Metalheads”

Language: English

A recording of this talk will be available after the festival.

Image Mixing with Peter Mettler

With his work on visually stunning films, Peter Mettler has also collected an almost unlimited amount of found-footage material along the way. In live improvisations he uses this material in various forms, always accompanied by musicians or sound collages.

After the screening of “Picture of Light”, Mettler demonstrates this special form of audiovisual performance and gives the audience an impression of these unique improvised collages of images and sounds.

Masterclass Peter Mettler

Filmmaking is process. This is rarely truer than in Peter Mettler’s unique creative practice. His work stays in flow, continuously. In this masterclass he offers insights into his exceptional, equally processual and empirical approach and a preview of the seven-part planned audiovisual diary “While the Green Grass Grows.”

Animation Perspectives

In the beginning was the line. Anne Isensee and Michelle Brand generate intricate paths from it, philosophise through the medium of drawing. In DOK Leipzig’s dialogue series “Animation Perspectives,” their films meet, their views on the artistic possibilities of animation cross – in direct exchange with each other and the audience.

We show the films:

  • „Dieser Film heißt aus rechtlichen Gründen Breaking Bert“, „Ich will“, „Intro“ and „Megatrick“ by Anne Isensee 
  • „Any Instant Whatever“, „Synchronicity“, „Vonfelt: Je pars“ and „Yay“ by Michelle Brand

Meeting and Celebrating Tess Martin

Tess Martin’s poetic stories about belonging, identity and loss ring with echoes of autobiographical experiences. She is present in every single frame of her animated films, leaves fingerprints, edges of shadows, traces of work. The artist invites us to follow those traces with her – in an exclusive commented show of her works.
