Do the festival packages also entitle their holders to use the New Horizons VOD offer?
Festival packages are not combinable with New Horizons VOD offerings – using them, you can only watch films from the 13. American Film Festival program online.
Can I watch movies outside of Poland territory?
Due to licensing agreements with individual distributors festival films are only available in Poland. However, in accordance with European Parliament Regulation 2017/1128, users permanently residing in Poland but temporarily residing in the other EU or EEA country may also view content to which they have purchased access while residing in Poland. Please email us at pomoc@nowehoryzonty.pl after purchasing access. After verifying the conditions, we will unlock the access.

You have 48 hours to watch a movie from the moment you click on the “watch” icon. The last screening can start no later than November 20th at 23:59 (i.e., press the play icon – otherwise access will not be activated), then you have 48 hours to finish watching.
