Friday at the New Horizons 
  Meetings, exhibition openings, a night at the Festival Backyard and the start of Cinema at the Market Square. 
  The first festival weekend begins! For a good start, we’ll let the numbers speak: today we're looking forward to 57 screenings in cinemas (plus many more online) and 8 meetings featuring 12 filmmakers. At 22:00 tonight, we also invite you to the first event of Cinema at the Market Square: we will begin with a screening of Ruben Östlund’s Triangle of Sadness. Before that, we recommend two exhibition openings: at 18:00 Anna Mlasowsky: From Within at the SiC Gallery! of BWA Wroclaw, while at 20:00 Avec Plasir at the BWA Studio gallery. We also encourage you to visit IP Studio, which will feature the latest installment of Ambient Room (starting at 19:00). The first New Horizonian Friday is best finished at the Festival Backyard, where the duo Duszne Granie will be behind the console. Later in the evening, a dance show will begin at the Surowiec Club.

  The art scene 
  The opening of the exhibition From Within, which corresponds to the themes presented in the Third Eye section, is scheduled to begin at 18:00 at the SiC gallery! of BWA. Anna Mlasowsky, who alternately explores geographic, cultural and sexual identities, uses glass as an intermediary in her work to explore (dis)belonging, otherness and disobedience. At 20:00, we invite you (with great pleasure!) to the BWA Studio gallery for the opening of the Avec Plasir exhibition, which merges with the film section of the same name and enters into dialogue with Alain Robbe-Grillet's retrospective.

  A cruise and film screening on the Oder River 
  Take a beautiful festival cruise. On the second Saturday of the mBank New Horizons (July 26 at 21:00) you will be able to experience cinema in an unusual place – on a boat cruising the Oder River. On screen will be Sidney Lumet's absolute classic Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino. Free entry tickets can be picked up at the festival box offices from July 22 (Saturday) or until the pool runs out. The number of seats is limited, one person can claim a maximum of 2 entry tickets. Holders of the mBank New Horizons Visa card can pick up their admission tickets today, on presenting the card at festival box offices. 
  Snap a photo in the festival photo booth | mBank 
  New Horizons, smile! Over the first weekend of the festival, you will have the opportunity of capturing your memories in film in a photo booth arranged by mBank. Located between the first and second floors of the New Horizons Cinema, Monday through Friday, from noon till 20:00. Using the photo booth is free of charge. 
  Films mean emotions | check out the mBank zone at KNH 
  Putting together your private festival program can sometimes resemble a game of tetris. And so for the past few days we’ve been rushing to help: presenting the “top tens” of our program team, guides, tips, and advice. Today, however, we direct your attention to the special mBank zone, which can be found at the New Horizons Cinema. That's where we've prepared a selection of titles that best suit different emotional states. Make sure to visit!

  Cinema at the Market Square is organized thanks to the support of the mBank New Horizons' patron, the Municipality of Wroclaw. 
  The Polish films shown at the festival are screened thanks to our partnership with Dr. Irena Eris.
