With more than 250 films in the program, hundreds of cinema screenings, thousands of online viewings, concerts, exhibitions, and special events spanning eighteen intense days, we extend our profound appreciation.
The 23rd edition of the mBank New Horizons International Film Festival officially concluded at midnight yesterday. The festival’s cinemerging extended not only to Wrocław but also to viewers at home across Poland, as films from this year’s program were available online for three weeks. In a world marked by vicissitudes, one thing remains steadfast: the New Horizonian audience (or better: community), a true treasure. Your dedication, warmth, and boundless passion for cinema have amazed us for years. Thank you for being with us!
The success of this year’s edition wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the world’s most fabulous volunteers. It is thanks to you that the heart of the New Horizons beats with tremendous energy, driving the complex organism of the festival.
The strength of the New Horizons is also evidenced by the – exceptionally long – list of wonderful sponsors, partners, and patrons. Thanks to your support, we have the immense pleasure of presenting high-quality cinema, hosting outstanding filmmakers, and conducting a number of smaller and larger events that add to the beauty of the New Horizonian world.
We would like to thank the main patron, the Municipality of Wroclaw, and the titular partner, mBank, who decided to become even more strongly associated with the New Horizons.
