Asif Kapadia, an Oscar Winner With ‘Amy,’ to Open Visions du Réel Industry Program


British filmmaker Asif Kapadia, an Oscar winner with 'Amy,' will be the opening speaker of the 23rd edition of Visions du Réel's industry program.

British filmmaker Asif Kapadia, an Oscar winner with “Amy,” will be the opening speaker of the 23rd edition of the industry program of documentary festival Visions du Réel in Nyon, Switzerland. The festival said Kapadia has “continued to develop an innovative cinematographic language that combines the use of a rich corpus of personal archives, often previously unpublished, with extensive investigative work and a psychological approach to the life of his characters.” “His body of work blurs the contours of the documentary genre by freely intersecting the emotional and narrative punch of fiction and the more rigorous veins of investigative filmmaking, shedding light on the inner lives of his protagonists and those around them.”
