This year there will be a unique edition of all the states of the cinema. The 20th New Horizons International Film Festival and the 11th American Film Festival will be held simultaneously online from 5th to 15th November.

For the first time, the New Horizons IFF was launched in 2001. It was an event aimed at presenting independent artistic cinema - at that time, represented in Poland rather poorly - which sought for new ways of expression and breaking the frontiers set by conventional filmmakers. This is a festival of cinema visionaries, adamant artists, brave enough to follow their own path against the trends and to talk about the most important matters, using their own, unique language. From hundreds of films screened every year at international festivals, as well as these sent for selection, we have chosen the ones that - due to their unusual form and the power of expression - defend themselves from being forgotten. These films evoke extreme reactions, bring up emotions, start vigorous discussions, and provoke raptures and protests. Yet, it is this kind of works that set the trends of the international cinema. The "Main Competition" is the concept of the "new horizon" come into being.

This year the festival will take place on a specially created online platform. During 10 days of the festival you will be able to watch over 170 new films (including over 130 feature films) from the program of both festivals. Only a few symbolic screenings, organized according to the guidelines of the Chief Sanitary Inspector, will take place in the cinema halls in Wroclaw.
