[April 20, 2023] Docs in Orbit Podcast - Episode #55 - Visions du Réel 2023 with Emilie Bujès (moderated by Christina Zachariades)

In preparation for the 54th Edition of Visions du Réel, we sat (virtually) with Emilie Bujès, the festival's artistic director, to hear about how this year’s program came together. 

Visions du Réel has a strong reputation for championing creative, contemporary non-fiction cinema and has played a vital role for independent documentary filmmakers for decades. The festival has also been a significant source of inspiration for this podcast, where we have discovered many filmmakers and invited them onto the podcast.   

This year will be the 54th edition, and the collection of films has us fully energized, with more than 160 films, 82 of which are world premieres on display from April 21st to the 30th.

As part of Docs Ireland we were delighted to sit down with Shane Smith, Director of Programming at Hot Docs, North America’s largest Festival and Market for documentary film. The event took place at the Ulster Museum, in front of an audience of doc lovers, doc screeners and doc makers, and touches on the dark arts of making a huge documentary festival come alive, how Shane got started in the industry and how Hot Docs are taking the gospel of documentary beyond the borders of North America.
