Organized by People in Need - Czech TV Foundation, One World has quickly emerged as one of the largest human rights film festivals in Europe and is firmly established as one of Prague's premier cultural and media events.

According to its tradition, the festival is held under the auspices of former president Václav Havel, Czech Minister of Culture Pavel Dostal, and Mayor of Prague Pavel Bem. One World 2004 will present 156 films and videos from around the world, which were chosen from among 950 submitted documentaries. The festival center will be located at the Archa Theater.

The main competition section will offer gripping stories, powerful testimonies, charismatic personalities, outstanding filmmaking, and intriguing reflections on the challenges of our time. Films in this category compete for the Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic Award for the best film and the Best Director Award. Members of the international grand jury are acclaimed filmmakers: Nick Broomfield (Great Britain), Robert Drew (USA), Patricio Guzman (Chile) Marcel Lozinski (Poland), and Helena Trestikova (Czech Republic).

The Right to Know category will offer 16 investigative reports on current affairs, human rights, global issues, inside stories, and in-depth coverage that audiences usually cannot find on TV. These films will compete for the Rudolf Vrba Award. The members of the Rudolf Vrba Jury are not professional filmmakers, but courageous individuals who have suffered from human rights violations themselves. They are Vera Fleischmannova, Taisa Izmailova, Vladimir Kovac, Jelena Podgornaja and Lydie Zigova.

The short form category is this year's novelty since the previous short film category is expanded to include not only documentaries but also human rights-oriented experimental and animated films. This category will include 16 short films (up to 35 minutes) competing for the Mayor of Prague Award for the best short film. Jury members are programmers of prestigious international film festivals: John Anderson (USA, Human Rights Watch IFF), Ally Derks (the Netherlands, IDFA) Kerstin Hagrup (Sweden, Swedish film institute) Jean-Pierre Rehm (France, Documentary film festival Marseille) and Štefan Uhrík (Czech Republic, IFF Karlovy Vary).

In the non-competition thematic blocks, the One World 2004 program will present around 50 documentaries divided into the following sections: Reconciling the Past; Facing Global South; Dying at Grace; Accepting Otherness; Special Reports; Docs for Kids; Visegrad Highlights; Direct Cinema/Cinema Verite; Winning Hearts and Minds; and Human Rights in Fiction.

On the occasion of the foundation of the Human Rights Film Network (HRFN), the One World festival is hosting a seminar for festival organizers from all over the world that brings together not only the members of the network but also representatives of well-established festivals as well as new partners from south-east, central and eastern Europe who have expressed their intention to launch human rights film festivals in their own countries.
