The 25th edition of the One World festival will take place in Olomouc from 27. 3. to 1. 4. 2023.
Each year, the festival brings dozens of documentaries about human rights and human rights violations to cinemas. This year’s festival theme is The Cost of Safety. *One World -want to use it to draw attention to the problems that society is now facing and which the festival cannot ignore – the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, and climate change.
"The theme of insecurity and the search for safety runs through all the films in this year's festival. Whether it's the feeling of financial security, family support, or the security guaranteed by the state, these connections mean something different to each of us. Even the price we're willing to pay for safety differs for everyone. With the slogan ‘The Cost of Safety’, we would like to encourage audiences across the Czech Republic to think about and respect each other's diverse manifestations of fear," says Kamenický.
