Iwona Jarzębska, Director of Public Relations Department in Bank Millennium - the naming rights sponsor of the festival - speaks about Millennium Docs Against Gravity: Millennium Docs Against Gravity is a magnificent festival, which is a window to the world out there. For Bank Millennium the values, which the festival represents, are important: openness, courage and discussing subjects, which have significance for the community today but also for future generations. We are glad that the festival has a follow-up during the holiday season and that its films are included in the agendas of events in big cities and also in local ones organised in small towns where often times there is no cinema and access to cinematic art is limited.

The festival audience will have the opportunity to see i.a. Honeyland, which was an absolute hit of the 16th Millennium Docs Against Gravity festival and won: the Grand Prix — Main Award of Bank Millennium, Grand Prix of Silesia — the Award from the Marshal of Silesian Voivodeship, Award of the Mayor of Gdynia as well as Bydgoszcz ART.DOC Award. Agendas of the festivals will also include such renowned and recognised titles as the Oscar® nominee and winner of the 15th edition of Millennium Docs Against Gravity — Minding the Gap directed by Bing Liu, Female Pleasure — winner of the Warsaw Documentary Award and Award of the Readers of "Co Jest Grane 24" at the 16th Millennium Docs Against Gravity festival, and also such jewels as: Jean Paul Gaultier.
