This year’s One World festival is also showing a total of 27 exclusive premiers (21 international, world and European premiers).

7 of them will compete in the International competition and include movies like Acasa, my home (European premiere) which has already scored at the Sundance film festival and was awarded the Special Jury Award for Best Documentary Cinematography or Ninosca (International premiere)– portrait of one woman from Nicaragua who decides to defy a fate that is to a great extent defined by machismo culture.

A new film by Canadian actress Ellen Page and director Ian Daniel There´s Something in the Water will be screened in a European Premiere and will compete in the Right To Know Competition. The main trigger for the journey and making this film was the eponymous book by Ingrid Waldron, which draws attention to a new phenomenon: environmental racism. In the same competition, the audience can watch a documentary in the international premiere of Mai Khoi & The Dissidents about Vietnamese singer Mai Khoi who decided not to be a conformist pop star and began to draw attention to the lack of freedom in her country, where civil activists, journalists and bloggers are being persecuted and arrested. The audience can also watch a world premiering documentary by Christopher Patz and Ammaz Aziz Discount Workers, about a fire that broke out in a cellar workshop in Karachi, Pakistan, where clothing was made for a German chain store. 258 people were buried under the ruins.

In the Czech competition, the movies will be screened in their world premier. Two of them, The Czechs Are Excellent Mushroom Pickers and Grief, are both focusing on climate change and what we can do about it. Film Nomad Meets the City is a portrait of 50-year Tumurbaatar from Mongolia who is one of many coming to the city to fulfill their dreams of a better life. And the fourth Czech movie Doggy Love shows a journey of Czech husky breeder Jana who is set to participate in the Finnmarksløpet sled dog race.
