Monday at the Festival: 29 cinema screenings, stand-up, and a farewell
For the past week, the bustling corridors of New Horizons Cinema (KNH) have felt more like a lively Times Square than the quiet frontier of Alaska. It’s hard to imagine KNH without the energy of our wonderful, vibrant festival audience – the best, coast to coast! So today, let’s keep the magic alive with 29 more screenings, a special stand-up performance after Group Therapy (5:30 pm), and a warm farewell at the Festival Club – Rumbar and Texico.
And don’t worry, you can still take AFF home with you: catch our films online until November 17 (available in Poland). So, in classic AFF spirit: we’re not saying goodbye; we’re saying, “Till next time.”
