The 19th edition of the New Horizons film festival is on

The debut feature film Ray & Liz by Richard Billingham and the controversial Golden Glove by Fatih Akin from this year's edition of the Berlinale festival were presented during the first day of the 19th New Horizons festival in Wrocław. The first movie is set in the 80s of the 20th century. It was during those years that the director spent his early childhood in a miserable social housing. The film won the Special Jury Award during last year's International Film Festival in Locarno. Golden Glove, in turn, is an adaptation of the bestselling biography of Fritz Honka, a serial killer from Hamburg.
The 19th edition of the International Film Festival New Horizons will last until August 4. The program of the event features 223 full-length movies from 54 countries, including the latest works of Jim Jarmusch, Pedro Almodóvar and Quentin Tarantino. Birds Speech by Xawery Żuławski and Citizen Jones by Agnieszka Holland will also be presented during the event.
