Premieres, awards, workshops: ARRI at DOK.fest Again in 2017, ARRI attended the International Documentary Film Festival in Munich (DOK.fest M nchen) and, among other notable involvement, awarded the ARRI AMIRA Award.

Almost 43,000 audience members, 17 locations, 157 films from 45 countries and a multitude of additional offerings. Those where the key figures at the 32nd International Documentary Film Festival in Munich, which took place from May 3 14, 2017. ARRI attended the DOK.fest again this year, lending it's technological, financial, as well as content-related support.

The documentary film is a leading art form. Through it we can learn a great deal about our world and possibly even be encouraged into action, said festival director Daniel Sponsel during the opening ceremony about the importance of this genre. He noted: Documentary films have never been more important and worthwhile nor more exciting and entertaining as they are today.

31 world premieres and 68 German premieres proved the popularity of DOK.fest in the film scene. Screened for the very first time for a German audience was, among others, the documentary film DRIES, which was produced with the ARRI AMIRA camera system and will be in cinemas on June 29, 2017. With DRIES, we wanted to shoot an honest, authentic film about the fashion designer Dries Van Noten and his work. The AMIRA, with its natural high-clarity and authentic color shading, was the camera best suited for this type of shoot, director and producer Reiner Holzemer explained. He revealed more details: Dries was very hands on during the color correcting process. We wanted to bring every nuance of color that can be seen in his fabrics adequately to the screen. With the AMIRA, these demands were met without any problems. In retrospect, Dries didn't criticize or correct even a single color.
