The 51st edition of Visions du Réel came to an end last Sunday, followed online with enthusiasm by a large audience.
The 134 films of the programme, including 89 world premieres, have been watched 60,500 times on the platform tailor-made for this one-of-a-kind edition. We would like to thank the public, our institutional, private and technical partners, the filmmakers, producers and film professionals for supporting us in this exceptional adventure!
It is thanks to the precious support of our partners, Festival Scope (in association with Shift72), Tënk, Doc Alliance, RTS, SRF and RSI, that this edition has been a true success, and that the 134 films of the programme found their online audience and have for the most part sold out. In addition to the programme, many online activities have allowed to recreate the energy and conviviality of the Festival, gathering more than 4,500 people, filmmakers and spectators for discussions, debates, party nights and Masterclasses.
The Industry programme, which was also redeployed online, has welcomed more than 1,300 professionals. Thanks to the combination of specific softwares and the technical team’s skills, it was possible to maintain the activities intended for the industry, as well as the Industry Talks open to the public, and for all to meet a tremendous success.
Thank you very much, see you next year!
52nd edition of Visions du Réel: 16 to 24 April 2021.

Jean-Luc Godard Exhibition
|
|
Starting on 12 June, Visions du Réel will present sentiments, signes, passions – à propos du livre d'image, an all-new exhibition conceived with Jean-Luc Godard.

An all-new exhibition conceived with Jean-Luc Godard and Fabrice Aragno.
The Image Book (2018) is the latest film by Jean-Luc Godard, the French-Swiss filmmaker who lives in Rolle, and is connected to the City of Nyon through his personal history. A monument of world cinema, the highly prolific director has profoundly influenced and shaken up the cinematic art with his unclassifiable and revolutionary style. The exhibition, conceived with the filmmaker in a dialogue initiated two years ago, covers the cutting of the film in six parts. It fragments, and breaks down each part of the work, both in terms of sound and vision, distancing itself from the linear filmic format and creating an entirely different type of experience and relationship with image. The five chapters of the film and their epilogue will thus be reinterpreted within six rooms in Nyon Castle. |
