Brazil’s Anti-Femicide Patrol and Mexico’s Queer Rodeo Scene Among Tales Told in Visions du Réel’s Work in Progress Section
Visions du Réel’s works-in-progress projects share a common thread: compelling, character-driven storytelling exploring today's global realities.
The latest edition of Visions du Réel ’s highly selective Work in Progress showcase, spotlighting six bold international documentaries in late-stage production, will be pitched Tuesday at the Swiss festival’s industry platform. The selection includes both established filmmakers, such as Hassen Ferhani (“143 Sahara Street,” “Roundabout in My Head”), returning to VdR alongside his producer Eugénie Michel Villette (“Six Pieds Sous Terre”), as well as promising newcomers bringing their debut features to the festival. Produced by Gustavo Rosa de Moura of Mira Filmes and Alessandra Orofino of Peri Productions, “Emergency Measures” is backed by Brazilian state grants and follows Bomfim’s debut “I’m Still Alive.” The team is seeking international sales at VdR.
