DOK18 is a filmmakers’ collective in Berlin that grew out of a documentary film directing course at filmArche, the largest self-organized film school in Europe. Its seven directors are dedicated to authentic documentary storytelling in which they regard a critical examination of power structures in front of and behind the camera as essential. Following several works made by the directors in smaller groups, BENCH TALES is the first project to involve all of them. Divided into smaller groups and with changing roles, they approached the protagonists without prepared questions, with the aim of letting them lead the conversation.
