Saturday at the New Horizons 
  Citizens, vote! Today we particularly recommend the competition section and encourage you to vote for your favorites, while in the evening we suggest Harrison Ford in the heart of Wroclaw (Blade Runner at the Market Square). There are also 13 meetings, exhibitions and club events waiting for you. 
  Talking about films is one thing. Awarding the best productions – that’s nothing but a pleasure. We direct your attention today to the competition section and encourage you to cast your votes for the titles you like best. The film that gets the most favorable votes will receive the Audience Award. You can still see three productions from the New Horizons International Competition: Samsara, La Palisiada and Imago. Following the screenings of that last two, we invite you to meetings with the filmmakers. Speaking of meetings – today you can participate in a total of 13 Q&A sessions with 35 filmmakers. 
  Samsara, dir. Lois Patiño 
  Blade Runner at the Wroclaw Market Square

  Art and a club on the horizon 
  Also on view today will be Contrafactur, a new work of art by Kasia Kmita, a well-known member of the festival community, who uses the meticulously refined form of cut-outs in her work. The opening is at 20:00 at the Wroclaw Town Hall. The main organizer of the exhibition is the City Museum of Wroclaw. Those who crave non-film art will also find solace at the SiC! gallery of BWA and the BWA Studio gallery, where you can enjoy (respectively) the exhibitions From Within and Avec Plasir. We encourage you to also visit IP Studio, where you can experience the new Ambient Room (from 14:00 to 22:00). Later in the evening, be sure to check out the Festival Backyard, where the crews of the Recepcja and Surowiec clubs will invariably be waiting for you with all sorts of delights.

  Let's talk! | SexedPL Zone  
  Sometimes emotions are hard to put into words, especially when they concern matters of the most intimate nature. The SexedPL team will help you take the first step: educators are available to talk – about love, relations, relationships – In the zone on the 1st floor of the New Horizons Cinema (KNH). The nearest session is today, between 10:00 and 13:00. You can also ask your questions anonymously, via a free app. At the zone in KNH, created thanks to the collaboration of SexedPL and the Magnum brand in cooperation with the art collective To Tu, we can further raise issues of pleasure, touch and informed consent. While using a special app, each participant can create original collages to help with mapping needs. 
  Coffee, my glorious coffee 
  And more. A wide variety of savory and sweet snacks await you at the New Horizons Cinema bistro, including those from Dobra Kaloria, as well as NITRO cold brew, Fritz Kola and oodles of other refreshments. The cinema bistro is a perfect place to satisfy your non-film hunger in between screenings.
