The University of Lodz is a substantive partner of the 34th edition of the Man in Danger Media Festival. Films and reports presented at the festival deal with the issues of integration and conflicts, as well as the complexity of problems resulting from coexistence. Through their content and form, they provoke discussion and reflection, fight stereotypes, binary assessments and encourage openness to other people. Using the programme of festival events, the organisers try to raise awareness that the multiculturalism and diversity of the world is a living tissue in which nothing is defined once and for all, but is constantly transforming and changing, creating new dependencies and contexts.
"Man in Danger" is invariably, for more than thirty years, about making attempts at authentic understanding and agreement. It's about making an effort to overcome prejudice, ignorance or simple indifference. By getting to know the other person, whom we too often and too easily define as "the Other," we get to know ourselves.
The total of nearly 60 contemporary and past films includes, inter alia: "No Other Land","Black Box Diaries", "Hollywoodgate", "L'Image manquante", "Dahomey", "Silent Trees", "The Last Expedition". This is documentary cinema at the highest level, Polish and Lodz premieres.
