“Attraction” by Aleksandra Szczepaniak focuses on a few, sunny vacation days of the adolescent siblings. The film has been recently awarded with the Best Cinematography Prize at the Two Riversides FF in Poland, and earlier got the Jury Mention at the 49th Gdynia FF in Poland, and the Honorary Mention in the NY Cinematography Awards 2025.

“Nothing Serious” by Kamil Czudej, which also got the Jury Special Mentions at the 49th Gdynia FF 2024 and in the Blaue Blume TV competition 2025, observes how not-that-great a party, accidentally turns into something that might change the character’s life.
