The full programme of the 17th TAURON American Film Festival is now known. Filmweb reported on 3 November 2026, based on press materials, that the event will take place from 17 to 22 November at Kino Nowe Horyzonty in Wrocław, Poland. Some of the films will also be available online until 6 December.
Numbers and tickets
The programme includes 146 films: 120 features and 26 shorts. Together they run for 12,657 minutes, or almost 211 hours.
Single tickets, as well as online access passes and packages, go on sale on Thursday 5 November 2026 at 12:00. Organisers point out one change: ticket sales and order handling are now run through nowehoryzonty.pl.
Opening film: Misty Green
The festival opens with "Misty Green", directed by Chris Rock. The title character is an Emmy winner who keeps hearing that she is "difficult". When she has to move out of her flat within a week, she gets a chance at a big comeback: a role worthy of her talent.
Misty is played by Rosalind Eleazar, known among other things from the series "Slow Horses". She received the TIFF Tribute Award in Toronto for the role. Her co-stars include Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick and Chris Rock himself. The film is being shown courtesy of Gutek Film, its Polish distributor.
Closing film: A Long Winter
The festival closes with "A Long Winter" by Andrew Haigh, the director of "All of Us Strangers". It is an adaptation of a short story by Colm Tóibín. The story is set in Colorado in the 1950s. One of the sons first leaves the family farm, then the mother vanishes in unexplained circumstances. The father and the other son, Mike, remain, and the approaching winter turns out to be exceptionally harsh.
Mike is played by Fred Hechinger, who won the Rising Star Award at the Denver festival for the role. The cast also includes Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Caitríona Balfe.
Highlights section
The programme also has a "Highlights" section. It brings together the most important films brought to Wrocław from festivals around the world. More titles are due to join those already announced. The full programme is on the festival's website.
