After a completely online edition and one in a hybrid version, the Nyon-based festival Visions du réel is finally opening its physical doors again  from 7 to 17 April to welcome a total of 160 films (124 in the official selection), including 85 world premieres, from 68 countries. This year is marked by a considerable presence of first features (35 in total) and by meetings with three exceptional guests: the Italian director Marco Bellocchio, the American filmmaker and director of photography Kirsten Johnson and the committed Algerian filmmaker Hassen Fehrani.
