645 interested from 79 countries signed up for Lusitania's fifth voyage. Ultimately, 54 film passengers will sail on this unique cruise: 20 in the professional cabin, 12 in the student cabin, and 6 in the most secret one. In turn, the PANORAMA OF OUR TIMES will house 10 film passengers. This year, there is room on the ship for one more special cabin: THE EYE AND THE EAR. IN MEMORY OF MARCIN GIŻYCKI, an outstanding historian and theoretician of animated film, who passed away last year. And since it's hard to imagine a cruise without music, the program includes two more non-animated music documentaries.
As every year, a 3-person Professional Jury (Ewa Ciszewska, Joanna Kożuch, Michał Szcześniak) and a 3-person Student Jury (Jeremiasz Łabarzewski, Zuzanna Ślusarczyk, Konstancja Taraszka) will sit on the captain's bridge.  The audience will also participate in the cruise and award their prize.
The fifth cruise of the RISING OF LUSITANIA AnimaDoc Film Festival will take place on November 16-19, 2023 in Szczecin, the capital and largest city of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, and above all one of the largest seaports in Poland.
