Poland’s Millennium Docs Against Gravity – and Its Audience – Doesn’t Shy Away from Political Films: ‘They Want More’


Polish festival Millennium Docs Against Gravity isn’t shying away from politically charged content, opening with “Coexistence, My Ass!”

Readying for its 22 nd edition, Polish fest Millennium Docs Against Gravity isn’t shying away from politically charged content, opening with “Coexistence, My Ass!” Its protagonist, pro-Palestinian Israeli comedian Noam Shuster-Eliassi, will also deliver a stand-up performance. Poland is known for its documentaries, with “renowned master of archival footage” Maciej Drygas bringing award-winning “Trains,” and Jaśmina Wójcik comes with a “very beautiful, visual film” fresh off its Hot Docs world premiere, “King Matt the First.” Marcin Wierzchowski made “Das Deutsche Volk” with German funding, focusing on the 2020 racist attack in the city of Hanau, while in “Letters From Wolf Street” Arjun Talwar shows Poland from his own perspective as an outsider.
