ceremonial

On Wednesday May 4th at 19:30 there will take place in the large auditorium of the Municipal Library of Prague the ceremonial presentation of Awards for this year’s One World Festival.

The first award presented this evening carries the name of Rudolf Vrba and is received by the best film in the category Right to Know. This award is granted by a jury composed not of filmmakers, but of people whose fates represent today’s human rights and social problems.

This will be followed by the presentation of the Czech Radio Award for the creative use of music and sound in a documentary film, which has been traditionally decided by a jury consisting of employees of Czech Radio. This Award is presented by the General Director of Czech Radio Václav Kasík.

The Plzenský Prazdroj Audience Award for the film which met with the most positive response among the visitors to One World is presented by the representative of our – already traditional – General Partner Plzenský Prazdroj Michal Kacena.

In the Short Film Competition there will be granted the Mayor of Prague Award, which is decided by a jury consisting of directors and dramaturges from several prestigious international documentary film festivals and presented by the Mayor of Prague Pavel Bém.

The film that receives the Award for Best Director is chosen by members of the Main Jury. The Award itself is presented by the General Director of Czech Public Television Jirí Janecek.

The members of the Main Jury also decide on the Award for Best Film. Last year, at the impulse of the organizers of One World, there was established the tradition in which this award was presented by the Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic Pavel Dostál.

A part of this evening will also include the projection of the film which receives the Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic Award for Best Film.

Entrance into the closing ceremony is allowed only with an invitation.
