The EDUKINO Empowering Film Festival is an annual international event that focuses on socially conscious youth cinema, inviting filmmakers worldwide to submit works that inspire and empower young people. For over 15 years, the festival has sought stories highlighting the human spirit's strength and the journey of overcoming adversity, with a particular emphasis on themes relevant to personal development and societal issues. The festival typically includes in-person screenings, such as those held at the MOK Cinema in Józefów, Poland, followed by online streaming. It features various thematic categories, including films exploring human relationships, identity, passion, dreams, and global social issues. EDUKINO also presents awards for outstanding artistic merit and profound educational and social messages, with a dedicated young jury involved in the selection process.
