Discover the power of art.

The Arts section of the Dokumentale programme captures this unique atmosphere, presenting a broad spectrum of films that shed light on different art forms, artists, and the party scene.

Alreadymade, presented in collaboration with the Berlinische Galerie, challenges the authorship of the iconic Dada artwork The Fountain. Another highlight is Uncropped, a film co-produced Wes Anderson about the legendary photographer James Hamilton, who will be joining us in Berlin not only for a Q&A following the screening but also for an exclusive master class.
