Introducing our European project ANOTHER STORY
The HER Docs Foundation’s activities now extend beyond Poland through collaboration with five partners across Europe. Together, we aim to bring into the spotlight the work of selected women directors – creators of extraordinary documentary films who remain largely unknown to wider audiences. Thanks to the ANOTHER STORY project, viewers across Europe will have the opportunity to discover and be inspired by their remarkable films.

This is not the film history you know. ANOTHER STORY joins the existing feminist movement to recover women’s documentary cinema for audiences around Europe and rewrite the history in a way it should be told: with multitude of voices and women’s perspective on reality.
The mission of ANOTHER STORY is to enhance the visibility, accessibility, and circulation of overlooked works by women filmmakers, spark curiosity, encourage dialogue, and share their artistic visions and cultural contributions. By reconnecting with the legacy of pioneering women in film, the project aims to inspire future generations of documentary creators while contributing to a collective pan-European effort to reshape film history through education, participation, and rediscovery.
Moving between intimate domestic spaces and the structures of institutional power, the programme traces gestures of resistance, confronts social taboos, and lingers on the politics embedded in everyday life. As diverse in form as in subject, the films stretch the boundaries of documentary itself. Told in a poetic, risk-taking language—at times blurring documentary and fiction, at others embracing the experimental—they are formally inventive, politically sharp, and emotionally precise. Still urgent now.
ANOTHER STORY is a two-year collaboration between five European partners: HER Docs Foundation (Poland), Festival dei Popoli (Italy), The Good Media Network / Doxumentale (Germany), Balkan Documentary Center / Sofia DocuMental (Bulgaria) and Cineuropa (Belgium).
