DOK Talks

Every year during the film selection process, we can already see emerging topics that we are sure will raise discussions. Our curated dialogue series invite for moderated round table discussions with filmmakers that address dominant subjects in the programmes of the current festival edition.

Catch up with the topics from last year’s DOK Talks in our Media Library.

Architecture Film Art – Heinz Emigholz in Conversation
Wed, 19 October, 16:30, Zeitgeschichtliches Forum

Heinz Emigholz’s oeuvre includes a number of cinematic investigations of architecture as a carrier of historiographical and biographical traces. Three of his latest works on the subject are being screened at DOK Leipzig 2022 – the occasion for a conversation between curator and publicist Ralph Eue and the media and film artist.

Conducting the Archive – Conversations on Footage
Fri, 21 October, 11:00, Polnisches Institut

Documentary films often oscillate between fact-based historiography and personal directing style. They find their material, among other things, in archives – where they are confronted with sometimes corrupted document collections shaped by prevail- ing power structures. We discuss how problematic or even missing archive items can become productive.

Masterclass Mila Turaljić
Thu, 20 October, 16:30, Zeitgeschichtliches Forum

“I’ve been digesting the disappearance of Yugoslavia for 25 years”, says Mila Turajlić. In her films she does this by question- ing the contemporary and film history of her country, but also of her own family. In her Masterclass, she discusses strategies of artistic research in filmmaking and her fascination with archives.

Animation Perspectives: Veneta Androva_Tang Han

Veneta Androva and Tang Han are invited to engage in a cinematic and personal dialogue. Animation and documentary, nature and culture, the virtual and the real rub against each other in their works. Two radically different artistic styles, and yet they have something in common: precision in watching, consistency in thinking and a delight in playing with ironic distance.

Tickets: 8.50 €
Available from 29 September in our online ticket shop and from 14 October at our box office
