    20000 SPECIES OF BEES by Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren20,000 SPECIES OF BEES (ESP), by Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren, is a contestant in the Berlinale Competition programme. The winner of Script Pool 2020 and a participant of 2022's International Works in Progress is a coming-of-age story where the relationship between body, gender, and identity are explored. 

    DO YOU LOVE ME by Tonia NoyabrovaDO YOU LOVE ME? (UKR-SWE) by Tonia Noyabrova, was a participant of PÖFF Goes to Cannes lineup in the Marché du Film showcase last year. In the light of the ongoing war in Ukraine, PÖFF team made the decision to exclusively present Ukrainian projects for 2022's edition. This year, the film will premiere in the line-up of Berlinale Panorama programme. The film is a story about the collapse of Soviet Union through the eyes of 17-year old Kira.
