About the festival: Visions du Réel is an international festival with a focus primarily on documentary film. It celebrated its 50th anniversary edition in 2019. It is one of the few Swiss film festivals to present a majority of its films as world or international premieres. It also offers the unique opportunity to meet the film directors that are present at each first screening of the film. Moreover, the festival is a stepping stone for new talent.
