Chinese filmmaker Jia Zhangke, who “humanizes China’s modern history – and turns it into poetry,” according to one critic, will be the guest of honor at Visions du Réel. The documentary film festival’s 55th edition runs April 12-21 in Nyon, Switzerland.
Jia, a leading figure in independent Chinese cinema, will present a masterclass exploring his body of work, and a retrospective of his films will run throughout the edition. The tribute is made possible thanks to the collaboration with the Cinémathèque suisse and Ecal, the university of art and design in Lausanne.
“Since the outbreak of Covid-19, I haven’t left China for almost four years,” Jia said. “I feel like embracing the world again, as excited as a child about to go on a long trip for the first time. I am heading to Nyon for cinema that reveals the world as it really is.”

The Monsterverse is here to stay. Long live the Monsterverse.
Today brings us the news that the latest film in Warner Bros.' and Legendary Pictures' rock-'em, sock-'em franchise has officially been given a new title, synopsis, and announcement video. Fans can now get ready for the arrival of "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire," the next crossover between the classic Titans in another sort of East meets West extravaganza. While the last film in this franchise pitted King Kong and Godzilla against each other in an epic -- and, if you ask me, mind-numbingly dull -- fight to the (near) death, this one seems to be offering a whole new trajectory, as implied by that little title change involving an "x" that I honestly have no idea how to pronounce. "Godzilla by Kong," "Godzilla times Kong," and "Godzilla ex Kong" don't really seem to have a great ring to them,...
