After ten days of screenings, meetings and discussions, the 57th edition of Visions du Réel has drawn to a close. Marked by Emilie Bujès’s departure as Artistic Director, this edition will be remembered as a particularly outstanding one, driven by remarkable public enthusiasm.
More and more of you joined us this year, with a significant increase in attendance and a record number of entries in theaters – reflecting your loyalty and ever-growing curiosity. A huge thank you to everyone for making this edition such a success! We would also like to warmly thank our volunteers for their unwavering commitment, as well as our partners for their trust.
Once again this year, you have journeyed with us through rich and unique cinematic landscapes, with a bold programme featuring 164 films from 75 countries – including 83 world premieres. This diversity and openness confirm, more than ever, Visions du Réel’s status as an unmissable international event for non-fiction cinema. As for the awards, powerful works were honoured, reflecting a striking trend of this edition: in a changing world, filmmakers are exploring intimate narratives and plural identities, in search of meaning and connection.
Save the date
We are already looking forward to welcome you next year for the 58th edition, from 9 to 18 April 2027!
