Amsterdam
7th - 11th June 2006
Beeld voor Beeld is a documentary film festival
dealing with culture and representation.
Rooted in visual anthropology, the festival screens
documentaries on various (sub-)cultures in a format combining
screenings, discussions and seminars on different themes.
Providing a meeting place for filmmakers and
audiences from different cultural backgrounds, discussion is
encouraged between filmmakers and the audience.
Film, video and photography are all accomodated in
this non-competitive environment.
Entry submission is open to every production that either deals with
subjects of anthropology, sociology and social issues or fits in
with one of the themes.
A special program of student films will be part of
the festival. This section is open to all educational programs on
visual anthropology or documentary filmmaking fitting in with the
overall format of the festival.
Apart from general film screenings, the 17th edition will have
three themes (provisory):
a) Unesco's ICT4ID (Information
and Communication Technologies for Intercultural Dialogue):
Preserving indigenous peoples' cultural resources by fostering
access to ICT
b) The African
Documentary/African Images
c) Australia
