From 1 Sep 2012, the 9-screen cinema with 2,329 seats will operate under the name Helios New Horizons.

Until now, the Helios multiplex has been the main venue of T-Mobile New Horizons IFF and the American Film Festival. The new cinema will be run by New Horizons Association team led by its president, Roman Gutek.

With the revamp of this venue, the New Horizons have found a home comparable to the ones of the Toronto and BFI London Film Festival, which will allow the organizers to prepare film events on a large scale throughout the year.

The cinema will concentrate on showing independent films, daring authors' projects, as well as quality mainstream cinema. It will also be home for festivals and film seasons. A special effort will be made to develop film education projects for children in all ages and students (regular film screenings as part of the 2-year Academy of Polish and 4-year Academy of World Cinema). New Horizons already run a film education scheme for 42.000 pupils across Poland.

Rafał Dutkiewicz, Mayor of the City of Wroclaw, confirmed that Wrocław continues to support the New Horizons Association in implementing educational strategies, believing it will have major impact on widening citizens' cultural awareness.
