The Special Mentions highlight films that stood out within the festival's competition programme and received particular recognition from the jury for their themes and cinematic expression.

The Special Mention goes to Daughters of the Forest, directed by Mexican filmmaker Otilia Portillo Padua.

The SunChild International Environmental Festival congratulates both filmmakers and extends its gratitude to all participating filmmakers for sharing important stories about nature, biodiversity, and the future of our planet.
