We are happy that we managed to maintain high attendance again and that our foreign guests keep sending us e-mails with enthusiastic reactions and thanks. It's great that through Skype, also spectators at some regional festivals will have the opportunity this year to get to know the directors of the screened films. And we should not forget about Brussels where One World will take place in April.
We thank the Prague audience for their favours and look forward to meeting the spectators in the regions!
This year's festival, focused on migration, was won by the documentary A Syrian Love Story directed by Sean McAllister. The film will be screened in 16 other towns throughout the Czech Republic.

One World ended in Prague but now is heading to another 32 towns in the Czech Republic. In four of them, the festival starts already today. Mallory, the protagonist of the film by Helena Třeštíková, also sets out on tour of 20 towns today. Mallory Neradová won the hearts of the audience in Prague and will certainly have the same great reception elsewhere. With only one break – during Easter – she will be travelling in the coming weeks.
