Thanks to the collaboration between the Polish Film Institute and the New Horizons Association, the New Horizons International Film Festival is one of the 6 international film festivals to present selected films in the prestigious The Goes to Cannes at the biggest film market, Marché du Film, during the 72nd Cannes International Film Festival.
The Goes to Cannes is a program that invites the largest festivals to present selected films to the international film industry, films that do not yet have agents, distributors or set premiere dates.
The New Horizons International Film Festival and the Polish Film Institute will present a selection of five Polish films in various stages of production (works-in-progress) in New Horizons’ Polish Days Goes to Cannes programme:
-
#toomanykicks directed by Maciej Ślęzak, produced by DayDream Production,
-
Broad Peak directed by Leszek Dawid, produced by East Studio,
-
I Never Cry directed by Piotr Domalewski, produced by Akson Studio,
-
Antarctic Syndrome directed by Piotr Jaworski, produced by Kalejdoskop Film,

Tony Halik. Born for Adventure directed by Marcin Borchardt, produced by Furia Film.
New Horizons' Polish Days Goes to Cannes screening will be held on May 19 at 10 AM - 12 noon at Palais K- level 4 in the Festival Palace during the 72nd Cannes International Film Festival. Entrance for market badge holders.
Polish Days will be held on July 30 - August 1, 2019, during the 19th New Horizons International Film Festival (July 25 - August 4, 2019).
Polish Days, the most important industry event at the New Horizons International Film Festival, is organised jointly with the Polish Film Institute. During closed screenings, film industry representatives from around the world watch the latest Polish films at various stages of production, including completed works as well as fragments of films in postproduction; they also participate in pitching sessions of projects in development. As each year, organizers expect about 200 guests, including sales agents, distributors, film festival programmers as well as producers. Polish Days is an excellent opportunity for Polish film producers and filmmakers to promote their projects, plan festival strategies and network with international partners.
