From May 8 to 17, Millennium Docs Against Gravity will once again take place in Gdynia \u2014 one of the most important documentary film festivals in Europe. The program includes films about searches, losses, and discoveries, meetings with authors, and competitive screenings, as well as a large-scale program that brings together viewers from all over Poland and abroad.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main theme of this year is \u201cSearches\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 which is explored in various forms in the films of the main competition. This includes the literal search for a missing son in the film \u201cEndless,\u201d the search for home in \u201cThe Fox and the Pink Moon,\u201d and observing a rare bird in \u201cSongs of the Forest,\u201d says Karol Pekarczyk, the artistic and executive director of MDAG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He adds that the form of the competitive films is a creative exploration: from the immersive experience of \u201cThe Problematic Bear,\u201d through the carefully crafted shots of \u201cDaughters of the Mountains,\u201d to the unusual blend of fiction and documentary in \u201cMy Child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millennium Docs Against Gravity has set a trend for documentary cinema in Poland and has since consistently attracted a wide audience thanks to its thoughtful and appealing festival program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival is evolving in a nomadic format suitable for the 21st century, \u201cseeking the audience\u201d across the country. The organizers believe this is the future of film festivals. They place great importance on the dissemination of film culture and collaboration with partner institutions that support the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the audience, international prestige, and an increase in the number of partners confirm the success of the concept and the creation of a community of viewers and organizations participating in one of the most important film events in Poland<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, MDAG was included in the list of festivals qualifying for the \u201cOscar\u00ae\u201d in the category of Best Documentary Feature. In 2022, the festival was also included by the European Film Academy in the list of \u201cmajor European film festivals,\u201d gaining the right to qualify films for the European Film Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
