This is an international film competition organized by the Camera Femina Foundation for filmmakers who care deeply about issues such as feminism, equality, ecology, and social pressure—creators who approach these themes with both boldness and tenderness.

The competition which runs throughout October features a fiction film by Aleksandra Góralewska YOGHURT which premiered at the 50th Gdynia Polish Film Festival and was subsequently screened at the "Young and Film" Festival in Koszalin where it won the "Jantar" award—recognizing "female energy"—for the most energetic female role, honoring Maja Szopa (as Panda), Zofia Dobkowska (as Patrycja), and Aleksandra Góralewska.

Film synopsis: Panda is 28 years old and feels she is living out the worst possible life scenario. She has dropped out of university, lives with her neurotic mother and tarot-reading grandmother, is struggling to find a job, and faces the looming prospect of becoming a hairdresser. One day, she decides to confront her bad luck and leave the house for the first time in ages. To get some yoghurt. Panda’s bad luck turns this seemingly mundane errand into a bizarre journey through her familiar neighborhood.
