LINK TO THE COMPLETE REGULATIONS
The Cinéma du Réel competition is a selection of less than twenty international documentary films of all durations which choose to begin their career in France at Cinéma du réel and less than twenty French documentary films of all durations which choose to launch themselves on the road to world festivals at Cinéma du réel.
Such a drastic selection of international and French documentary films within the production of an entire year commits us and we thank all the professionals who entrust us with their films and trust us to defend them.
Alongside this competition, the special screenings and our Popular Front(s) programme are there to welcome more films unseen in France that we believe essential to show to the public of Cinéma du réel, while the Première Fenêtre selection gathers documentary debuts from young creators.
