Component II: Screening of a selection of documentary films in the context of events with debates. One World Romania International Documentary Film and Human Rights Festival returns again this year in Timisoara, between September 19-22, with films from the selection of the 17th edition, under the theme CHOOSE! This year, One World Romania reflects on its role in a world in which crises and tragedies are an endless succession, a world in which balance is more an individual stake or the isolated and fragile goal of a group struggle. In this context, we choose to create a space to talk about what is silent. We choose solidarity over comfort, we choose to listen rather than impose beliefs. Through the films in this edition, we want to look beyond ourselves, to come face to face with the other and, finally, to look at ourselves more lucidly. Most of the screenings are followed by discussions with special guests: filmmakers, representatives of local NGOs, experts on the topics covered in the films. 

Every year One World Romania includes an award given by high school students, following the film and media education program "High School Jury”. This year, the program is being held for the second time in Timișoara, from September 19 to 22, as part of the local edition of the One World Romania International Documentary Film and Human Rights Festival in Timisoara.

Teenagers aged between 14 and 19 studying at a high school in Timisoara can be part of the jury that deliberates and chooses a winning film from the festival program. For 4 days, together with Ionuț Mareș (film critic) and Adina Baya (journalist & copywriter), the selected participants will discuss and learn about human rights, civic participation, media education and documentary film. Registration is open until September 10.
