• Purchase orders must be accompanied by a portrait photo in an attachment not exceeding 5MB in size, which will serve to identify the Pass holder.

Conditions of Festival Pass Use

• The Pass is valid for the 15th American Film Festival held on 5-11.11.2024 r. in Wrocław at Kino Nowe Horyzonty and other festival facilities.
• Each pass is programmed with 34 points (1 point equals 1 film screening) and entitles the holder to see a maximum of 31 screenings (which is the maximum possible number of films to see), provided there are seats available and the holder has made an appropriate online reservation for each screening.
• A passholder may not reserve seats for more than one screening per time bloc on a given day. A time bloc is a set of screenings showing not more than 45 minutes apart. (e.g. 9:45 AM, 10 AM and 10:30 AM is a single time bloc).
• The number of points on a pass allows for one absence without prior cancellation, for which three points are deducted from a passholder’s point total, and decreases the maximum number of screenings available with a given pass (for more information see the “bookings” tab).
• Entry to a screening is possible only after making an online reservation. Festival opening and closing films also require online reservations.
• To reserve festival seating, go to americanfilmfestival.pl. Details concerning making reservations are described in the “screening reservations” tab.
• Passholders are entitled to discounts for special screenings and concerts if organizers make such available.
• A passholder may reserve only one seat for a screening within a given time bloc.
• Online reservations may be made beginning 8:30 AM on the day preceding the film screening. Availability of reservations for film screenings on November 5th and 6th, 2024, will open on Novmber 5th at 8:30 AM. 
• If you are unable to attend a previously reserved screening you should cancel the reservation prior to 15 minutes of the show time.
• Failure to cancel your reservation prior to 15 minutes of the show time will result in deduction of three points from your festival pass.
• No late arrivals will be admitted to festival screenings.
