Visions du réel<br />
A common interest<br />
in the creative documentary in<br />
all its diversity has<br />
led to an intense collaboration.<br />
For several years, the international film festival Visions du<br />
Réel, Nyon and the promotion agency Swiss Films have<br />
been presenting some of the newest and most interesting<br />
Swiss films at <strong>Leipzig</strong>’s <strong>DOK</strong> Market. A common<br />
interest in, and commitment to, the creative documentary<br />
in all its diversity has led to an intense and successful<br />
collaboration with <strong>DOK</strong><br />
<strong>Leipzig</strong>.<br />
The Swiss films presented<br />
here are part of the well<br />
known independent<br />
documentary film tradition<br />
in Switzerland, which<br />
is a result of a long history of<br />
support adopted by the state and the country’s regions,<br />
as well as by the public television broadcasters.<br />
Coming from all parts of Switzerland, the films share an<br />
aesthetic and ethic commitment in all their exciting<br />
diversity of genres, approaches, points of view and styles<br />
of writing and all have an individual fingerprint. They<br />
are made by experienced as well as new directors and<br />
producers. They explore collective memories or individual<br />
destinies, tell spectacular stories or impress by intimate<br />
narrative. Many of them got great responses by press<br />
and public in international film festivals and are going to<br />
be distributed worldwide and released in cinemas.<br />
Most of the films have been shown at the 2012 Visions du<br />
Réel in Nyon. You may notice that we are convinced<br />
that documentary filmmaking not only deals with subjects,<br />
but also and above all, with form and aesthetics. We invite<br />
you to join Visions du Réel’s next edition between<br />
19 and 26 April 2013. You will discover outstanding world<br />
and international premieres in the festival programme<br />
and attend inspiring encounters with film makers from all<br />
over the world. Within the large programme of the<br />
Doc Outlook International Market, you will find around<br />
350 selected films at the Media Library and may attend<br />
the Pitching du Réel, Docs in Progress, Focus Talk and Rough<br />
Cut Lab to discuss current subjects at the panels.<br />
See you soon,<br />
