Minister of Culture

This year, the One World Festival will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of its presence on the map of events that are crucial for a diverse cultural life as well as a healthy civil society. These days filled with a selection of human rights documentaries from around the globe have the power to change our world from its very foundations thanks to the insight, perspectives, and experiences they communicate. Thanks to confrontations. Thanks to personal engagement. Discussions with filmmakers, protagonists, and human rights defenders comprise an integral part of the programme, which is just as indispensable as the section designed for pupils and students. The festival is also exceptional because of the way it is decentralised and distributed throughout the regions. On the occasion of the One World Festival’s twenty-fifth anniversary, I wish it continued goodwill, insight, empathy, and sharing. And of course, a large number of us, its faithful audience members!

Jan Lipavský

Minister of Foreign Affairs

It is an honour to be the patron of the One World Film Festival, which will take place from the 22nd of March to 2nd of April 2023 in Prague and more than twenty other cities in the Czech Republic and in Brussels at the end of April 2023. The festival has become a tradition by now. For two decades it has been encouraging not only the Czech but also the world public to protect human dignity and respect for human rights, which have been one of the main priorities of Czech foreign policy since the time of Václav Havel. This exceptionally meritorious task, which the festival fulfills so successfully, was also one of the reasons why I decided to award Šimon Pánek, co-founder and executive director of People in Need, with the Medal for Merit for Diplomacy this year. I believe that this year's festival will also attract the attention of a large audience and I would like to wish festival visitors many unique experiences and encounters.
