12. - 17.10.2017
Hľadať a nachádzať dôveru medzi nami, bez ktorej naša spoločnosť nefunguje, ako by mohla, je jedným z cieľov 18. ročníka Medzinárodného festivalu dokumentárnych filmov Jeden svet, ktorý sa uskutoční po prvýkrát súbežne v Bratislave a Košiciach, od 12. do 17.10.2017 v Bratislave, resp. do 15.10.2017 v Košiciach, nasledovaný dvadsiatkou regionálnych festivalov od Humenného po Malacky.
Festival premietne na štyroch festivalových miestach v Bratislave a jednom v Košiciach, v 9 filmových sekciách, 150 projekcií, viac než 60 na prestížnych festivaloch oceňovaných filmov zo Slovenska aj spoza hraníc. Nádielku filmov preloží desiatkou diskusií, viacerými workshopmi, ale napríklad aj dabingovou vojnou, stand-up vystúpením či kvízom Múdry pondelok s Jedným svetom. A nezabúda ani na deti a mládež.
Tematicky festival tak ako každý rok reaguje na aktuálne dianie - tentokrát na čoraz viac rozšírenú nedôveru (aj) v našej spoločnosti. Nie je preto náhodou, že sa hlavným mottom 18. ročníka festivalu stala veta Hľadá sa dôvera. Spolu s nárastom extrémizmu, ktorý s (ne)dôverou takisto súvisí a ktorým sa zaoberáme v tradičnej sekcii Extrémizmus v nás, našou spoločnosťou čoraz viac rezonujú aj ďalšie pálčivé otázky.
Či už je to korupcia sama o sebe spätá s nedôverou, ktorej sa venujeme v celkom novej filmovej sekcii Hovoriť striebro. Mlčať zlato?, alebo napríklad aj nárast nedôvery ľudí v lekárov či iných odborníkov, čoho dôsledkom sa čoraz viac šíri odmietanie povinného očkovania, na čo sa tiež bližšie prizrieme v sekcii Môj život inak. Tému dôvery či nedôvery tým však ani zďaleka nevyčerpáme, na svoje si diváci prídu aj v ďalšej novej sekcii s názvom Dáta : demokracia. Dokumenty o tom, ako priveľmi dôverujeme napríklad internetu. A nemali by sme.
Filmy o tom, ako meníme náš svet a čo s tým môžeme urobiť, diváci nájdu vo filmovej sekcii Takzvaná civilizácia. Dozvedia sa napríklad, že našim budúcim jedálničkom budú možno aj chrobáky. Schopnosť ľudí konať neraz obmedzujú najrôznejšie prekážky a vyššie záujmy. Dokumenty v sekcii Máte právo vedieť sa venujú práve aj tomuto rozmeru dôvery v svet okolo nás a naše schopnosti a možnosti ho meniť.
A na svoje si prídu aj fanúšikovia slovenských filmov v sekcii s veľavravným názvom Slovenský dokument. Súťažia v ňom filmy, ktoré svojou optikou nazerajú na témy, ktoré hýbu nielen našou spoločnosťou.
Festival ponúka program na štyroch miestach v Bratislave – v kinách Lumière a Mladosť, na Filmovej a televíznej fakulte VŠMU a v KC Dunaj v Bratislave a v Kine Úsmev v Košiciach.

Black Sheep is a 70-minute feature length documentary following a group of Hijras and the crew as they create new bonds of friendship while they proactively, through empowering events, break the barriers of popular myth and prejudice. The cinematic journey will move beyond the gritty slums of Mumbai to celebrate the real-life joys and multi-faceted personalities of this unique community of trans genders in India. From empathetic glimpses into their everyday lives, the narrative will encapsulate a series of adventures ranging from photo-shoots to fashion and talent shows, to celebrate the glorious femininity of the Hijra protagonists. Empowering adventures will include a DIY makeover for their currently grim workplace to bridging the emotional space between society, the families and the Hijras. The film will shine a light on these inspiring Hijras who have demonstrated the courage to go up against society’s strictures to fulfill their true destiny. “Black Sheep” will underscore the importance of freedom and living true to one’s identity and confront the negative portrayal of this hitherto marginalized section of Indian society. The objective is not to sermonize or castigate. Black sheep will be a beautiful, poignant documentary that honors and celebrates the freedom to live true to one’s destiny. Show more
Over the last ten years, a series of leaks of financial data have made politicians and public opinion in many Western democracies increasingly concerned about the tax optimisation practices of the wealthiest members of their society. In the shadow of the financial crisis, public opinion has been calling for reform of banking privacy and international tax agreements. The subject has created diplomatic crises between nations and tensions in financial markets. One of the figures at the centre of the debate is the Franco-Italian banking IT technician Hervé Falciani. In 2008, Hervé Falciani left his job at the Swiss branch of HSBC, taking with him - without authorisation - a hard-drive containing a database of 130,000 named bank accounts, held by citizens from 180 countries. This database found its way into the hands of many world governments. The purpose of this film is to examine the tax debate in a critical and engaging but also a balanced way. http://www.imdb.com Show more
Islamic State and other terrorist groups do not limit themselves to using only traditional weapons. An increasingly globalised world offers extremists new options for spreading fear and hate. Jihadists are filling the social networks and other internet media with an increasing volume of their well-though-out contributions, and thousands of young people from around the world are falling for their propaganda. This documentary reveals terroristic strategies in the virtual world and also poses the question as to whether this cybernetic war can be won. Show more
Can games change the world? With cities everywhere struggling to cope with the population growth that increased urbanisation brings, can video games be harnessed to help the residents, especially young people, take part in planning, and fixing their own cities. Today public spaces and entire cities are being designed, planned and played through the medium of games. The result of this "civic gamification" is that city architecture and urban planning is being democratized. Cities have become the ground zero for digital innovation and the debate about how our cities evolve has suddenly gone viral. We follow three game companies navigating the space where urban planning and gaming meet. Lydia Winters at the game developer Mojang, the creators of Minecraft, Paradox Interactive and the game Cities: Skylines and José Sanches and his indie game Block'hood. How will our cities look in 20-100 years time? http://www.imdb.com Show more
With the rapid emergence of digital devices, an unstoppable, invisible force is changing human lives in ways from the microscopic to the gargantuan: Big Data, a word that was barely used a few years ago but now governs the day for many of us from the moment we awaken to the extinguishing of the final late-evening light bulb. This massive gathering and analyzing of data in real time is allowing us to not only address some of humanity biggest challenges but is also helping create a new kind of planetary nervous system. Yet as Edward Snowden and the release of the Prism documents have shown, the accessibility of all these data comes at a steep price. The Human Face of Big Data captures the promise and peril of this extraordinary knowledge revolution. http://www.imdb.com Show more

Insults and slogans spread through the air. "No savages and monsters in Finland!" "Racists out!" "God gave each nation its own place on earth!" Demonstrations, skirmishes, happenings. Friends who have known each other for years now fight in the sauna about humanitarian aid to refugees. Young Muslim women are afraid to walk in the city alone. Nationalists do not believe the media and establish their own news site. The film shows Finnish society as a fragmented mosaic where the rise of nationalism and neo-Nazism, distrust of the media, the government, the EU and Chancellor Merkel are accompanied by the same rhetoric that can be found in the Czech and Slovak Republic. The film screening is part of the Global Migration Film Festival 2017 in Slovakia. Show more
Two American filmmakers were allowed as the first ones to live with 85,000 Syrian refugees for a month inside one of the biggest refugee camps in the world Za’atari in Jordan, just seven miles from the Syrian border. Chris Temple and Zach Ingrasci documenting the lives and fate of the camp population give a never before seen look into one of the world's most pressing crises. You can experience an intimate view at the overwhelming trauma, heartbreak, untapped potential but also hope of people forced to flee Syria struggling to restart their lives inside Za’atari refugee camp.

As the debate on immigration is on the rise across Europe and the hard line against immigrants and refugees tightens, the Dutch government invites some refugees in and offers them a new home. The film shot over the course of 2011 follows dramatic stories of five of these refugees forced to flee because of their political or religious opinions and ethnic background that put them at risk in their countries. The refugees come into the world now in the grip of growing anti-immigration rhetoric, and each of them has to face the hostile climate and obstacles to integrate in their new home. Still, they do their very best to adapt to Dutch culture and go to everything as Dutch as they can: they struggle to learn language, celebrate the Queen's Day, see art exhibitions of Dutch painters or visit the Anne Frank House. But everything they all want to know now is whether they are wanted, useful or even needed. Are these refugees a threat to us or do we need them? The film screening is part of the Global Migration Film Festival 2017 in Slovakia and the One World Festival. Show more

When the Finnish power company Fennovoima announced their plans to build a nuclear power plant in Pyhäjoki in north of Finland in October 2011, news cameras captured ecstatically cheering business men and a widely smiling municipal manager. Jobs! New businesses! The fleeing investors and Russian Rosatom were still a long way off. Nuclear Neighbour isn’t just a film about the nuclear plant project, where the end justifies the means. It is also a story about a regular person’s mammoth task. This person is Hanna Halmeenpää, a teacher who volunteers her evenings and weekends to save the unique natural environment of her home together with her fellow activists in the Pro Hanhikivi association. When fighting a nuclear project, free time is a luxury you can’t afford. In promoting her cause, Hanna travels from one country to the next, poses difficult questions to the powers that be and, during a TV debate, silences a minister with her incisive argumentation. After reading to the children their bedtime story, Hanna returns to her laptop in the kitchen to continue the fight to save Hanhikivi. ’I have never before been an activist or political in any way,’ says Hanna. It takes a weighty cause to change everything. http://bautafilm.se Show more
