Modern technology is opening up a panorama of possibilities. A whole new community is in the making – community in which films not only enrich our sensory perceptions, but make us feel at home in the global village and offer a glimpse into the complexity of the world around us.

For the first time in Poland, and perhaps even the world, people will be able to come to a festival that is not confined to any one place, but staged right across the country.

People will be able to view 10 of the films at this year's Planete Doc Review festival in any one of 22 cinemas at the same time before casting their votes for the winner of the Arthouse Cinemas Award. All this has been made possible by the iplex.pl online cinema and the Arthouse Cinemas Network.

Those audience members who take part in the voting will be in the running for some attractive prizes. For more details, please go to www.kinastudyjne.pl

There will also be a debate on the links between politics and ecology during the Digital Planete Doc Review Weekend. The debate will been organised by Krytyka Polityczna journal and will be held in 10 cities across Poland on 9 May 2009 at 7:30 pm, just after Franny Armstrong's The Age of Stupid. Sociologists, journalists, philosophers, commentators and ecologists will be taking part.
