Treat yourself to a Visions du Réel bench seat
In 2025, Visions du Réel set itself the goal of creating a more comfortable audience
experience. The historic red chairs in the Grande Salle will be replaced by new bench seats.
We’re offering you the opportunity to participate in the financing of these new bench seats. When you purchase a bench or individual seat, you will have your name inscribed on a gold plaque affixed to the seat.
