Visions du Réel - Recap with Inge Coolsaet and Jordan Cronk

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 MannaROJEK by Zaynê AkyolL’ÎLOT by Tizian BüchiINNER LINES by Pierre-Yves Vandeweerd143 RUE DU DÉSERT by Hassen Ferhani VACATION IN VAL TREBBIA by Marco BellocchioMARX CAN WAIT by Marco BellocchioEUROPE by Philip ScheffnerLINKS AND REFERENCESVisions du RéelVisions du Réel 2022, International Feature CompetitionFor show notes, visit docsinorbit.com and be sure to follow us on social media @docsinorbit
