The Visa pour l’Image screenings will cover the main events of the past year, from September 2024 to August 2025. Each day of the week, the show begins with a chronological review of the year’s main news stories, two months at a time. This is followed by reports and features on society, conflicts, stories that have made the news and others that have had less coverage, plus reports on the state of the world today. Visa pour l’Image also presents retrospectives of major events and figures.
