Raoul Peck, Oscar-Nominated for ‘I Am Not Your Negro,’ to Be Honored at Visions du Réel
Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck, who was Oscar nominated for 'I Am Not Your Negro,' will be the Guest of Honor at Visions du Réel.
Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck, who was Oscar nominated for “I Am Not Your Negro,” will be the Guest of Honor at the 56th edition of documentary festival Visions du Réel, which runs April 4-13. Emilie Bujès, the festival’s artistic director, said Peck’s work was of “exceptional political impact and cinematographic force.” She added, his films are “inextricably linked to an alternative and engaged way of thinking about the world and its history, embodied by key figures which he has invariably made part of inspiring, precisely articulated and highly literary forms.” Peck’s work is “a reinvention of activist cinema, which he transforms using a cinematographic, poetic and highly subjective language, freely intermingling genres and formats,” the festival said.
