In April 2020, we thought the situation was exceptional. We then proudly accepted the challenge to adapt our activities online, thus redefining the Industry section of Visions du Réel. It was intended to address a unique and global crisis, one we believed to be temporary. That seems gently naive to us now, one year later, as we prepare to welcome the majority of you online, once again. The consequences of the health crisis on the film industry’s international landscape have not yet necessarily been felt by everyone. However, certain more radical changes are already affecting the branch, beginning with the closure of cinemas for months, which is disrupting the films’ distribution and their economy, or the calendar of the festivals and their online organisation, making it even more complicated to launch films. Other professional categories seem to have been spared, less affected or have managed to pursue their activities in new forms. The effects of this paradigm shift over the long term thus remain inevitably uncertain… These transformations also have an impact on us at Visions du Réel, since we are part of this chain. Accustomed to the needs of those who make the films, produce them, sell them or show them, and to best address our role as a Festival that launches films, we must adapt our platform and activities. We have therefore developed our efforts to help the films in Visions du Réel official selection to access the market by completely revising our video library for professionals, renamed VdR–Film Market for the occasion. At the same time, we will highlight the films in our programme available for sales agents and for distributors with a new activity, the VdR–Showcase. We invite you then to note, together, across the nine days of this rather unusual edition of VdR–Industry, all the changes that have taken place so far and those yet to come in the film industry. This year again, our professional platform will be a privileged vantage point over contemporary documentary production, a space for reflection in which the future of the industry will be sketched out. We will observe how the wealth of the genre has not weakened through the discovery of a selection of projects reflecting the diversity and vitality of contemporary creations, presented in the VdR–Pitching, the VdR–Work in Progress, the VdR–Rough Cut Lab, but also in In Between, the Prix RTS: Perspectives d’un Doc, the SWISS FILMS Previews or even in the projects emerging from the directors participating in Opening Scenes Lab. Filmmakers, far from being discouraged by this turbulent reality, seem to have strengthened their approach. We will also attempt to understand, and perhaps foresee the evolutions in the industry, through a series of discussions and round tables, with our now recurrent activities such as the VdR–Industry Talks, Switzerland Meets Italy and the Documentary & Audiovisual Forum. Despite the challenge, we have always believed in the possibility of bringing you an on-site version of VdR–Industry. Now more than ever, after a year of lockdowns, it seems important to us to physically meet each other again. We are therefore offering an alternative to the fully online format by inviting those who can join us in Nyon to continue to exchange and work together. For all of those who cannot be present, we will welcome you in a newly created and tailored online space: an innovative, community-centred platform that will attempt to recreate the unique atmosphere of Visions du Réel as closely as possible. Finally, I would particularly like to thank our financers and partners for their unfaltering support. It is they who enable us to continue to propose a relevant offering. Thank you to our jurors who will have the difficult task of meeting all the project holders remotely and to the decision makers whose valuable commitment nourishes the projects. Thank you all for your involvement in creating the future of film together and welcome to the VdR– Industry 2021! 4 5 Jury and Awards VdR–Industry is very pleased to welcome every year various juries, composed of eminent personalities of the documentary and filmmaking world. Together, they will award important prizes offered by our valued partners to the selection of presented projects. Moreover, this year we are enthusiastic to announce that three new cash awards will be added to our list. 6 Jury: VdR–Industry 7 Jury: visions sud est 8 Awards 6 Jury & Awards Jury & Awards 7 Jury: VdR–Industry Jury: visions sud est Roberto Minervini Roberto Olla Rasha Salti Sebastiano Conforti Daniela Persico Meret Ruggle Film Director Executive Director Commissioning editor for La Lucarne Distributor / Programmer Programmer and Film Critic Director and responsible for Italy, United States Eurimages Arte France Outside the Box / FIFF, VIFF Locarno Film Festival the acquisitions France Lebanon, Canada Switzerland Italy, Switzerland trigon-film Switzerland Roberto Minervini is an Italian-born film director, Roberto Olla is the Executive Director of Rasha Salti was born in Canada, in 1969, to After his university studies in Lausanne, in Daniela Persico is film critic and programmer, After completing her film and development who lives and works in the U.S. His latest film, the Eurimages, the Council of Europe’s film Lebanese and Palestinian parents.

  • Appel Candidatures
    APPEL À CANDIDATURE ATELIER DE RÉALISATION DE FILMS DOCUMENTAIRES du MARDI 31 OCTOBRE au LUNDI 18 DÉCEMBRE 2017 ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE de BANGUI Cet atelier de formation s'adresse à tous les Centrafricains, femmes et hommes, désireux de se tourner vers la réalisation de films documentaires et soucieux de rendre compte de la réalité de leur pays. Il ne concerne pas seulement des personnes qui auraient déjà une expérience de la réalisation, mais s'adresse aussi bien à des personnes venant d'horizons différents (journalistes, fixeurs, responsables associatifs, etc.) attirés par ce moyen d’expression artistique. Aucune connaissance technique n'est requise. Les participants à l'atelier seront choisis à la fois pour leur motivation, pour leur aptitude à observer la réalité qui les entoure et leur capacité à travailler en groupe. LES ATELIERS VARAN Créés par Jean Rouch en 1981, les Ateliers Varan sont une école de cinéma unique en son genre, née du désir de former des réalisateurs de pays émergents à s’emparer des outils du cinéma documentaire pour refléter leurs réalités propres. Varan n’est pas une école au sens classique et académique du terme : les méthodes de travail y poussent à l’extrême le principe d’enseignement par la pratique : tout s’articule, pour chaque stagiaire, autour de la fabrication de films « en grandeur réelle ». Cet apprentissage du “regard documentaire” s’appuie sur une pédagogie qui s’est rôdée au fil de stages et d’ateliers menés sur les cinq continents. Le but est de décomplexer les participants face au langage cinématographique et de définir le rôle et la place du cinéaste, ses enjeux éthiques par rapport aux personnes filmées et au monde qui l’entoure.

  • 615. Miyazaki Fumiko and Duncan Williams
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 2001 28/3–4 The Intersection of the Local and the Translocal at a Sacred Site The Case of Osorezan in Tokugawa Japan MIYAZAKI Fumiko and Duncan WILLIAMS Osorezan is often portrayed today as a remote place in the Shimokita Peninsula, a borderland between this world and the other world, where female mediums called itako communicate with the dead. This article is an attempt to sketch the historical development of Osorezan with evidence from local archives, travel records, temple collections, and inscriptions from stone monuments. With newly available local historical data, despite what temple pamphlets claim, we will establish that the cult of Jizõ (and the death-associated rituals associated with the bodhisattva) was a late Tokugawa-period development and that the female mediums who have made the site so famous only began their communications with the dead at the mountain in the twentieth century. Indeed, what the historical evi- dence suggests is that Osorezan was a complex site that developed late for a major pilgrimage destination, in which the other-worldly concern with the dead (through the worship of Jizõ) was only one aspect of the Osorezan cult. Major patrons of Osorezan in the Tokugawa period prayed for the success of their commercial enterprises there and local people viewed the site primarily as a place of hot spring cures. This article will examine the his- tory of Osorezan from its emergence as a local religious site during the mid- seventeenth until the end of the Tokugawa period, when it became a pilgrimage destination known throughout Japan.

  • AESTHETIC PERSPECTIVE in POETRY FILM: a STUDY of CHARLES BUKOWSKI’S “BLUEBIRD” POEM and ITS VISUAL FORM ADAPTATION by MICHAT STENZEL Abeer M
    Global Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Vol.6, No.9, pp.54-70, September 2018 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) AESTHETIC PERSPECTIVE IN POETRY FILM: A STUDY OF CHARLES BUKOWSKI’S “BLUEBIRD” POEM AND ITS VISUAL FORM ADAPTATION BY MICHAT STENZEL Abeer M. Refky M. Seddeek1, Amira Ehsan (PhD)2 1Associate Professor, Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT), P.O. Box: 1029, Gamal Abdel Nasser Avenue, Miami, Alexandria, Egypt 2College of Language and Communication (CLC), Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT), P.O. Box: 1029, Gamal Abdel Nasser Avenue, Miami, Alexandria, Egypt ABSTRACT: This paper is divided into two parts; the first aims at investigating how poetry film fuses spoken word poetry with visual images and sound to create meanings, connotations and associations stronger than those produced by each genre on its own. The paper studies the stream of consciousness flow of images and nonlinear narrative style as the main features of that genre in addition to the editing/montage aesthetics and the spatio-temporal continuity. It also highlights William Wees’ notion that in the cinema the union of words and images strengthens the film’s ties to realism and sheds light on the Russian film-director Andrei Tarkovsky who developed the filming strategy poetic logic and made poetry assert the potential of the cinematic image as a form of artistic expression. In the second part the paper explores Charles Bukowski’s poem “Bluebird” (1992) and Michat Stenzel’s short film “Bluebird” (2017) by analyzing the verbal and visual forms to prove whether the filmmaker has succeeded in transferring the poet’s message and feelings or not through various tools and techniques.
