Announcement Competition : French Selection 2022

For its return to theatres, Cinéma du Réel is thrilled to present a french selection of 21 films in competition and to be once again able to host public Q&As with the people who made them.
Regulars of the festival will be joined by a number of newcomers who stood out over the viewing of the 1,600 films taken into consideration this year. We hope that this selection will surprise you and spark passionate discussions.
