Millennium Docs Against Gravity (MDAG), organised regularly since 2003, is turning 18 this year and continues to grow. The Polish gathering focused on the field of documentary will again be held in hybrid form – between 3 and 12 September, physical screenings will take place in seven cities (Warsaw, Wrocław, Gdynia, Poznań, Katowice, Lublin and Bydgoszcz). This will be followed by an online event, starting on 16 September and wrapping on 3 October.
