We are delighted to announce that the film produced by Aleksandra Aleksander, titled Kontrewers has been selected for the Berlinale Shorts competition and will compete for the Golden Bear at the 76th edition of the Berlin International Film Festival.

Kontrewers directed by Zuza Banasińska, tells the story of an encounter between the spirit of a possessed girl, trapped in a stone, and the director’s 102-year-old grandmother. Blending archival materials, documentary, and staged scenes, the film creates a moving reflection on memory, our relationship with the past, and the unseen.

The 76th Berlin International Film Festival runs until February 22, 2026.

Congratulations and fingers crossed!
