For over 20 years, Visions du R\u00e9el\u2019s industry activities aimed to underline and exalt the variety and richness of creative documentaries while providing precious networking opportunities. Acting as the Festival’s professional hub, VdR\u2013Industry is designed as a springboard for projects, facilitating both national and international collaborations and long-term partnerships between the projects\u2019 representatives and the professionals attending the industry events.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, 29 projects were invited to participate in three key activities : VdR\u2013Pitching, VdR\u2013Work in Progress and VdR\u2013Rough Cut Lab, that ran as part of the Festival\u2019s Industry activities in Nyon from April 14-17. With its numerous prizes and grants, VdR-Industry and its partners reaffirm their determination to support independent documentary filmmaking in all its diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 17th, the Awards Ceremony for VdR\u2013Industry will take place in La Colombi\u00e8re. The winners of the Industry’s activities will be revealed by our various juries, before continuing the night with Visions du R\u00e9el’s iconic karaoke!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
