Visions du Réel anuncia la programación de su 50a edición, dedicada a la libertad
Passion - Between Revolt and Resignation, de Christian Labhart

Este artículo está disponible en inglés.

Even though freedom and an openness to new cinematographic languages, themes and experiments may seem part and parcel of Visions du Réel by now, the important fiftieth edition of the festival on Lake Geneva (5 to 13 April) is due to celebrate these two concepts, with 169 films (including 102 world or international premieres) from 58 countries due to be showcased in this year’s programme.

Always willing to take on the role of explorer and look for new perspectives that challenge the malleable definition of ‘documentary film,’ this year, in addition to the 95 films featured in its various competitive sections, Visions du Réel  will also be showcasing feature films, Burning Lights, national and medium feature films, short films and Opening Scenes (a section dedicated to the new generation), 36 Swiss productions and co-productions, an homage to the immense and provocative German director Werner Herzog (who will also host an unmissable masterclass, in addition to receiving the Golden Sestertius Raiffeisen Maître du Réel Award), as well as two very interesting workshops hosted by Tariq Teguia and Massimo D'Anolfi and Marina Parenti. And while the Algerian director (who will also be hosting a masterclass and whose films will be (re)discovered) opts for a more explicitly political film form, D'Anolfi and Parenti are more drawn towards the union of poetry and politics (Spira Mirabilis [+lee también:
