Visions du Réel is delighted to welcome four delegations as part of VdR–Industry, the festival’s four-day programme of activities for film professionals seeking to launch new projects into the market.
Taking place from Sunday 19 to Wednesday 22 April 2026, right in the heart of the festival, the VdR–Industry programme provides all accredited guests an opportunity to meet with international producers through our delegations programme, expanding networks for current or future projects, with a view towards new co-production and co-financing opportunities.
The 2026 delegations include:
- BFI and BFI Doc Society (United Kingdom)
- Screen Scotland and Scottish Documentary Institute (Scotland)
- SODEC (Canada)
- Switzerland meets Central Europe (Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovakia)
A number of networking events and opportunities to connect with and meet the delegations will take place across the VdR–Industry days, while our VdR–Who’s Who will allow all guests to contact and schedule one-on-one meetings with attending producers and professionals.
