The fund Visions Sud Est was created in spring 2005 in Switzerland by the trigon-film Foundation, the Fribourg International Film Festival and Visions du Réel in Nyon, in conjuction with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. Since 2011 the Locarno Film Festival is also part in it. The fund supports film production in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe and promotes completed films.

The fund Visions Sud Est aims at filling the void in existing forms of support by supporting authentic and compelling projects without imposing conditions. Visions Sud Est is driven by the following purpose: to encourage independent film production in which themes are freely chosen in accordance with what the filmmakers consider important in their culture and region.
