This year's Carte Blanche, with the support of the Swiss Embassy, is from Visions du Réel, one of the most important documentary film festivals in the world.

Since 1969, for ten days, the Festival has made Nyon, Switzerland, a focal point where several generations of filmmakers and artists from all over the world meet a loyal and curious audience. Recognized as one of the largest and most important documentary film festivals in the world, it presents most of the films as world or international premieres and constitutes an essential creative platform for the thousands of film professionals who meet there each year.

Mr. Mourad Moussa, one of its curators, will be present in Rio, sharing his expertise on a Master Class on curatorship for professionals of the industry and presenting a selection of Visions du Réel recent films to college film students.
