Regional Jury

The regional jury comprises two representatives nominated by our regional partners. The nominees are selected from One World’s fans and supporters in the relevant town. The jury is then complemented by the holder of the Golden Projectionist title, which is awarded by our platform Promítej i ty!. The winning film will be included in the selection of documentaries featured in the Get Your Audience! programme in 2025.

Jan Hajžman

I work as a member of the customer support team at a company in Pilsen that develops, implements, and integrates information systems.

I have been involved in organising the One World festival in Pilsen for nine years. I am passionate about human rights issues, and the festival is something close to my heart that holds great meaning for me.

In my free time, I enjoy watching documentaries and films, attending theatre performances, playing the occasional video game, or going for walks in nature.

Iveta Dočkalová

I come from Turnov and am 37 years old. I have a husband and two young children. I studied chemistry and lived in Prague for ten years, where I ran a dog-sitting agency. We have now been living in Železný Brod for eight years, where we founded an association and have been running a cultural and community centre for over a year and a half. We organise concerts, exhibitions, workshops, theatre performances for children, and regular Sunday screenings of documentaries from the One World festival.

Adéla Kamenská

I graduated from the Faculty of Law at Charles University and subsequently worked in local and state administration. Throughout my career, I have also been involved in social work. For 15 years, I served as the chair of the board of trustees of CPDM o.p.s., which has been engaged in organising JSNŠ in Český Krumlov from the very beginning. I have raised three children. Now retired, I work part-time at ICOS Český Krumlov, o.p.s., providing free legal advice. My interests include history, politics, literature, and film. However, my greatest passion is birdwatching, butterfly monitoring, and transforming my garden into a haven for diverse wildlife.
