Visions du Réel - Recap with Inge Coolsaet and Jordan Cronk

Docs in Orbit

In this episode, I am joined by two film critics whose work I adore, Inge Coolsaet and Jordan Cronk - both of whom I had the great pleasure to meet at this year's swiss festival, Visions du Réel.

Inge Coolsaet is a film critic based in Brussels. She writes for several international publications, including Point of View magazine, Filmmagie, Photogenie, and Cineuropa. She is co-editor-in-chief of the new Dutch-language, Belgian-based film quarterly Fantômas. This year, Inge was invited to Visions du Reel to serve as a Jury Member to award the FIPRESCI Prize for this year's best first feature film.

Jordan Cronk is a film critic and founder of the Acropolis Cinema screening series in Los Angeles. His writing has appeared in Artforum, Cinema Scope, Sight & Sound, and many others. He is a member of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and was invited to Visions du Reel to host a discussion on casting for non-fiction films.

We regrouped last week to talk about some of the standout films we encountered, including:

• FORAGERS by Jumana Manna
• ROJEK by Zaynê Akyol
• L’ÎLOT by Tizian Büchi
• INNER LINES by Pierre-Yves Vandeweerd
• 143 RUE DU DÉSERT by Hassen Ferhani
• VACATION IN VAL TREBBIA by Marco Bellocchio
• MARX CAN WAIT by Marco Bellocchio
• EUROPE by Philip Scheffner
