The Mieroszewski Centre and the Nova Polshcha portal are again partners of the WATCH DOCS International Film Festival Human Rights in Film.

The 24th edition of the festival kicks off on November 22 and will run until December 1. In Warsaw cinemas – Muranów, Kinoteka, and the newly opened KINOMUZEUM at the Museum of Modern Art – you can watch carefully curated documentary films and participate in discussions on topics such as the activities of Russian spies or the perception of the war in Ukraine. For those outside Warsaw, the organizers have prepared special online screenings available on the platform mojeekino.pl.

The Mieroszewski Center and Nowa Polszcza actively support the festival by organizing selected screenings and meetings with filmmakers. During last year’s edition, we co-hosted screenings of the powerful documentary "20 Days in Mariupol", which won the top prize in the festival's Main Competition. This year, we have prepared even more events for you.
