Millennium Docs Against Gravity in Warsaw/Wroclaw/Gdynia/Poznan and others

Millennium Docs Against Gravity is one of Europe's largest documentary film festivals, running each May since 2004 across Warsaw, Wroclaw, Gdynia, Katowice, and Poznan, evolving from its earlier identity as Warsaw Doc Review and Planete Doc Review into a major coordinated multi-city national event drawing large audiences.

Documentary film festivals rarely attempt to run simultaneously across five cities, but Millennium Docs Against Gravity has built its entire identity around doing exactly that.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's central honor, the Grand Prix Bank Millennium Award, ties its name to its longtime sponsor, and its multi-city format lets a single curated documentary selection reach audiences across five major Polish cities rather than concentrating entirely in the capital

02

The mystery stays covered

Having grown from Warsaw Doc Review through an identity as Planete Doc Review before adopting its current name, the festival has built a reputation as one of the continent's largest documentary showcases, drawing premieres and international documentary talent that might otherwise bypass Poland entirely
