Still: Alreadymade - Barbara Visser

Docaviv shows films that push the envelope of the genre, redefining the word “documentary" in the Depth of Field Competition. Alreadymade** (prod. Tomtit Film, sales: CAT&Docs) by Barbara Visser is one of them and is also being shown in the Arts & Culture programme. The hybrid documentary that questions Marcel Duchamp’s authorship over arguably the 20th Century’s most important piece of modern art, had its international premiere at CPH:DOX and world premiered at IDFA. We talked to Visser when she was heading to Amsterdam.

Two Dutch docs are being represented in the International Competition. Kinshuk Surjan's Marching in the Dark* (min. co-prod. SNG Film), which celebrated its world premiere at CPH:DOX. A compelling story about a vicious circle and the first steps towards a resilient women’s movement.

The other contender is Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat*. The doc by Johan Grimonprez was awarded with the Special Jury Award for Cinematic Innovation at Sundance, where it world premiered. BALDR Film is the minority co-producer of the film. We spoke to Frank Hoeve of BALDR Film, before Sundance.
