Festival Special: Experience Visions du Réel at Your Home

On April 21 to 29, the 48th edition of the Doc Alliance festival Visions du Réel will take place. For nine days, the quaint little Swiss town of Nyon will turn into world‘s main stage of documentary cinema. Let us take you to the festival streets even before they get fully veiled in their typical red colours and watch a collection of 9 competition films from last year’s mid-length section: for instance the winning film Sit and Watch, the music film Satan Satie or the intimate Resplandor. Watch Visions du Réel online on your screens until the end of this month.

Documentary Science

Explore scientific discoveries through documentary film. This time, our film selection combines scientific research and film language, whether it is in the documentary sci-fi The Visit by Danish director Michael Madsen, French natural scientific film In the Mind of Plants or films dealing with the relationship between man and robot. See how filmmakers and scientists find common ground!

Czech Lion Award

The documentaries are accessible exclusively to the Czech audience.

The Internets…

One of the currently much discussed issues is how much time we spend in the real world and how much time we spend in the virtual one – online.

Behind the Wall

In the late 1980s, Europe decided that walls and wire fences made no sense. Some thirty years later, we are getting back to them; and not only in Europe. Donald Trump is obsessed with building a super expensive wall between the United States and Mexico. What is life actually like in Mexico? Find out in our event!

Line of violence. Short, intensive and highly artistic.

Until Sunday, January 29, you can watch films by renowned experimental filmmaker Guli Silberstein. Why does he deal with the theme of violence and how did he get to what he is doing? Read more in our exclusive interview! The director has also commented on his films specially for DAFilms.

African Trilogy: Sylvain L’Espérance

Join us on a trip to the most remote holiday destination so far; the centre of Western Africa; during the last week of August. Looking through the camera of director Sylvain L’Espérance, we will offer you a unique encounter with the life stories of people that might seem distant at first glance; which, however, are closer to us than we would have thought. They have a common denominator that links us all; the unintended impact of globalization. In collaboration with Canada’s RIDM festival, DAFilms.com invites you to open three African film chapters in the week from August 29 to September 11 for free.
