The year of the round 10th edition of the festival for young viewers takes us into a brand new era: filled with challenges and opportunities, with a refreshed identity. This is a new chapter for us: Kids Kino changes into Young Horizons. We are introducing not only a new name but also a new logo, branding, and poster for this year’s festival.
