Millennium Docs Against Gravity is of age! The cinema part of the 18^th edition of the festival, which became the largest Polish film event last year, will take place from 3^rd to 12^th September! As always, there will not only be unforgeable screenings but also unique meetings with filmmakers and film characters as well as debates on various topics presented in the films. This is a perfect occasion to see the latest achievements of the highest quality documentary film from all over the world premièring in Poland!

This year’s festival’s motto is “The World is Waking Up”. We all hope that things will start coming back to normal and the pandemic, which completely changed our everyday life, will be defeated. We want the festival to bring hope that the social solidarity which we are witnessing now could be here to stay. Many films in the programme of the 18^th Millennium Docs Against Gravity Many concern activism and call for acting for a better, equal and green world.
