Sunday at the Festival: 41 screenings, 4 Q&A sessions, and the awards gala
Applause, celebrations, and honors await this evening at the awards gala. At 6:30 pm, we’ll reveal which films from the Breakthrough and American Docs sections you liked best, and who will go home with the Audience Awards.
But before then, join us for the last Q&A sessions with festival filmmakers, the last literary meetings and the last... don’t worry – it’s not goodbye just yet. With a Monday full of films still ahead, we’re not done exploring all the states of cinema!

Lora Webb Nichols’ photography exhibition: I Wish I Was a Yellow Dog
Between screenings, take a detour to Wyoming (against all odds, it’s very close to the cinema, as it’s at Studio BWA Wrocław gallery, 46a Ruska Street) with Lora Webb Nichols, an accomplished photographer who documented the pioneering days of the early 20th-century American West. Admission is free.
All states of cinema and more: the VR Experience
Uncovering all states of cinema is one thing. At this year’s AFF, we go even further. Step into a unique VR experience to witness one of the most pivotal moments in modern U.S. history up close: the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Don’t miss JFK Memento – a compelling journey worth your attention.

Festival Monday
Usually, by now, we’d be slipping into a bit of nostalgia, but this year the festival extends one extra day, so the smiles stay on! On Monday, enjoy 29 screenings at New Horizons Cinema, a stand-up special, and a celebratory farewell high-five at the Festival Club – Rumbar and Texico. And don’t forget, you can take AFF with you: the online edition continues through November 17.
