Calendar – Past Event

 Visions du Réel , launched in Nyon, Switzerland in 1969, has made a name for itself as one of the most important rendez-vous of speciality cinema, both in Switzerland and on the international scene.

Alongside a program  planning which encourages meetings and dialogue between every form of cinema du réel (experimental films, essays, diaries, family films, major reports, historical inquiries, epic or fragmentary stories), events such as Etats des Lieux and their Workshops which welcome the illustrious names of cinema (Johan van der Keuken, Robert Kramer, Alexandre Sokourov, Robert Frank, Raymond Depardon or Frederick Wiseman) have become musts.

The festival also invites sales agents, commissioning editors and program buyers, distributors, independent producers and directors, to exchange information, points of view and projects during special brunches where they can meet and enjoy informal discussions. In addition, every year, Market Screenings places some two hundred carefully selected films at the disposal of broadcasters.
