The FIPRESCI Documentary Grand Prix was launched in 2026, marking a new milestone in the Federation’s commitment to documentary cinema. The award was introduced in partnership with Millennium Docs Against Gravity in Warsaw, one of Europe’s leading documentary film festivals, renowned for its strong engagement with social, political, and human-rights–driven storytelling. Sharing FIPRESCI’s core values of independence, critical rigor, and international dialogue, the festival provides an ideal platform for an award dedicated to highlighting outstanding documentary works. Through the Documentary Grand Prix, FIPRESCI turns its critical gaze toward films that address urgent global issues, expand cinematic language, and deepen our understanding of the world through non-fiction cinema.
