THREE POLISH FILMS IN THE PROGRAMME OF THE ONE WORLD FESTIVAL IN PRAGUE
Three Polish documentaries have been included in the official selection of One World - International Human Rights Film Festival. The programme will feature 'Silver', 'Child of Dust' and 'Traces'.
One World - International Human Rights Film Festival, whose this year's edition will take place on 11-19 March, is the largest festival presenting films on human rights in the world. For more than a quarter of a century it has been an integral part of the activities of the Czech humanitarian and human rights organization People in Need. Since the festival was established in 1999, it has brought films on human rights from around the world to local audiences, screening them in dozens of towns throughout the country and also at Czech primary and secondary schools. UNESCO has acknowledged One World for its efforts in raising awareness of human rights.
This year's programme will feature three popular Polish films that have been travelling around festivals around the world: Weronika Mliczewska's ‘Child of Dust’ in the Czech Competition, Natalia Koniarz's “Silver” in the Climat in Needi section, and Alisa Kovalenko and Marysia Nikituk's ‘Traces’ in the Right to Know section.
For 'Traces' it will be a Czech premiere. ‘Silver’ is already familiar to Czewch viewers of Ji.hlava IDFF, where the film premiered in October and won three awards. Same with ‘Child of Dust’, which also has been screened at Ji.hlava but this is going to be the first time the film's been shown in cinemas in the Czech Republic, and it'll be the start of its release across the country.
