One World unveils festival trailer, programme highlights and celebrates a decade of accessibility
One World International Human Rights Film Festival is launching the campaign for its 28th edition and introducing a new audiovisual identity. This year’s festival trailer, dominated by the motif of a journey through space and global interconnectedness, was created by the graphic duo WorkOut Office in collaboration with Slovak electronic music icon FVLCRVM. The festival also celebrates a major milestone this year—ten years of systematic efforts to make One World accessible to all, regardless of their disability.
Connected and tense world
A journey through outer space is the dominant element of the new trailer. The spot follows this year’s visual identity, centred around a globe interwoven with a network of parallels and meridians—a symbol of global connection, but also of tension. The trailer was created by the graphic duo WorkOut Office (formerly Tom & Džery studio) in collaboration with the star of the Slovak alternative music scene, FVLCRVM.
"The journey leads from cold, empty space to Earth—from a distance to a close encounter with a single world that is fragile yet shared," the creative trio say about the visual concept. Regarding the soundtrack, which was composed specifically for this year's trailer, FVLCRVM adds: "Through the music, I wanted to bring energy and movement to the spot—a sound that pulses and holds the entire universe together."
One World For All: ten years of accessibility
One World will celebrate ten years of accessibility and ongoing efforts to make the festival open and accessible to as many viewers as possible. The anniversary will be marked by a special section dedicated to creators with disabilities. It will feature, for example, the American documentary Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore, about the life of the first deaf Oscar winner. This will be followed by a debate entitled To Be Heard in One’s Own Language about the experiences of deaf people in an environment where their native language is systematically overlooked. The documentary Out of Frame, presented exclusively in its world premiere by Kurdish-Iranian director Bahman Yazdani Panah, will provide testimony from the life of a blind person.
Following the November screening of The Voice of Hind Rajab, the second and final pre-screening will be the gala premiere of It Was Just an Accident, for which Iranian director Jafar Panahi received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The event will take place on February 17 at the Lucerna cinema in Prague. Both titles will also be part of the main festival program.
One of the most visually breathtaking titles will be the film Jaripeo. The directing duo Efraín Mojica and Rebecca Zweig invite audiences into traditional Mexican jaripeo festivities. Czech audiences will see the film shortly after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. Just under a month before the expected parliamentary elections in Orbán’s Hungary, One World will present the investigative documentary 80 Angry Journalists. The Hungarian-Czech co-production by director András Földes takes viewers back to 2020, to the dramatic behind-the-scenes takeover of Hungary’s largest online portal Index.hu.
