From Nyon to Amsterdam: VdR Films and Projects at IDFA 2026

Twenty films presented at Visions du Réel join this year’s IDFA selection, alongside seven projects supported through VdR–Industry. We’re delighted to see these works continue their international journey and look forward to reconnecting with their teams in Amsterdam!
