The second Golden Panda Awards were presented on Saturday night in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan province, which is the home of giant pandas.

The international cultural event honors achievements in the fields of film, TV, documentary and animation under 27 categories.

Italian film "There's Still Tomorrow" won Best Picture. The award for Best TV Drama went to "She and Her Girls," based on the true story of Zhang Guimei, a school principal from a Chinese mountainous area who dedicated herself to empowering rural girls through education. The winner for Best Animation was Chinese animated blockbuster "Ne Zha 2", which grossed 15.44 billion yuan (approximately 2.13 billion U.S. dollars). Chinese director Pema Tseden was posthumously awarded the Best Director Award for his work "Snow Leopard."

This year's awards attracted 5,343 entries from 126 countries and regions, with international submissions accounting for 73.2 percent of the total.

On the sideline of the event, the 2025 Golden Panda International Cultural Forum, themed on "Harmony in Diversity, A Future in Unity," brought together Chinese and international guests on the same day to expand international cultural exchanges and cooperation, and to promote dialogue and mutual learning among different civilizations.
