One World România revine în 2021 cu peste 60 de filme de lungmetraj și scurtmetraj din întreaga lume, majoritatea în premieră națională. OWR14 va celebra, va prezenta și va chestiona parcursul luptelor pentru echitate socială a femeilor din întreaga lume, principalele probleme cu care încă se confruntă acestea și motivele care nu au permis încă obținerea unei echități sociale.
Festivalul va avea loc anul acesta în două etape:
fizic, la București, între și 11 și 20 Iunie, la Cinema Elvire Popesco, Cinema Muzeul Țăranului Român, Cinemateca Eforie, și alte locații indoor și outdoor din Capitală
și online în toată țara, între 21 Iunie și 27 Iunie.

Competiția va cuprinde cele mai incitante nouă filme din selecția de anul acesta, și va fi arbitrată de două jurii: unul format din cinci profesioniști de talie internațională și unul din liceeni din întreaga țară.
