As part of the 56th edition of the Visions du Réel festival, two films by first-year Bachelor and Master students have been selected for "Opening Scenes" and the "International Short and Medium-Length Film Competition."
This choice by the programming team, among hundreds of other short films, reflects the quality of the teaching and the creativity of the students, who, even from the first year of the Bachelor programme, can benefit from such opportunities.
