Given the situation in Ukraine, Millennium Bank decided to grant two additional, special awards.
On May 19, at the Teatr Studio in Warsaw, the 19th Millennium Docs Against Gravity Film Festival awards ceremony took place.
During the opening ceremony, the artistic director of the festival, Karol Piekarczyk emphasized the importance of this decision: This year, a month before the festival, we were invited to join a special group of festivals that are members of the European Film Academy. As a result, films shown and awarded at our festival have an incredible opportunity to compete for the European Film Awards. What is more, Millennium Docs Against Gravity can recommend films to be nominated for these awards.
The 19th edition of Millennium Docs Against Gravity kicks off May 13 running to May 22, before heading online May 24 to June 5. The festival has numerous epicentres, Warsaw, Wroclaw, Gdynia, Poznan, Katowice, Bydgoszcz, Lublin and now – as of 2022 – the film city of Łódź.
This year's opening film is a moving and visually spectacular story of a struggle for survival - TERRITORY by Alex Pritz.
Millennium Docs Against Gravity Festival viewers in Warsaw, Wrocław, Gdynia and Poznań will once again have a chance to vote for the best film in the Wyborcza.pl Big Screen Doc Award Competition. 12 captivating and well-crafted films, made to be watched on the big screen, will familiarise the audience with different pop culture phenomena, as well as more serious topics.
Oscar®-nominated filmmakers David France and Tamara Kotevska, Bill Morrison, Teoniki Rożynek and Milenia Fiedler - these are just some of the film and culture industry representatives who will be awarding prizes in competitions held at the 19th Millennium Docs Against Gravity.
The 19th edition of Millennium Docs Against Gravity will begin in just a few days! From today the full schedule of screenings in all festival cities is available at mdag.pl. Ticket pre-sales have also started online at cinemas' websites and at box offices.
The climate crisis is also a humanitarian crisis. Every year, millions of people are forced to flee their homes due to increasingly frequent disasters, such as floods, cyclones, droughts and forest fires. In 2020 alone, 30,7 million people were internally displaced because of disasters – accounting for over 75% of the people estimated to have been internally displaced that year. By 2050, the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance every year could rise to over 200 million.
The full programme of this year's MDAG, featuring the latest developments in international documentary filmmaking screened in Poland for the first time, is now available at mdag.pl!
The trailer for this year’s edition of the biggest Polish film festival has premiered today on the official Millennium Docs Against Gravity YouTube channel.
We reveal the first titles selected for the Polish Competition at the 19th MDAG!
Our thoughts and hearts go out to all the people living in Ukraine.
