The One World International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival is gearing up to investigate current global and regional issues at its upcoming 21st edition. A total of 14 categories – comprising three competitions, eight thematic sections, short films, VR and a children’s category – are being dedicated to this mission. The festival’s central topic for 2019 presents identity and its various different forms in the 21st century, under the tagline “Safe Proximity”.

 by Eva Tomanová; and Filip Remunda’s portrait of a Czech-Japanese populist politician and his brothers, The Okamura Brothers. US documentary filmmaker Matthew Heineman will be the subject of the festival’s retrospective. The organisers have not overlooked the immersive world of VR, creating a special section entitled One World Interactive, which will introduce the very latest works conjuring up both manic (Manic VR by Kalina Bertin) and shamanic (Lynette Wallworth’s Awavena) visions, among other immersive experiences.

In a joint effort with the Institute for Documentary Film, the One World Festival will organise the East Doc Platform, the largest industry event for documentary filmmakers in Central and Eastern Europe. As part of the platform, a panel discussing the gender balance in festival programmes (Women in the Audiovisual Industry: Examples from Practice) will be on the schedule, as will a presentation of short documentaries in the making (East Doc Shorts Pitch) and a glimpse at some upcoming Czech documentary projects (Czech Docs… Coming Soon).

After the festival’s run in Prague from 6-17 March, the event will travel to 36 cities across the Czech Republic, with an additional stop in Brussels.
