Building walls become moving murals at Kinomural, an international new media art festival in Wrocław’s Nadodrze district, Poland. Video art, experimental animation and audiovisual installations turn courtyards and tenement façades into an outdoor gallery after dark. Curated programmes run on several walls, and audiences explore the projections on foot. The festival dates back to 2019 and is organised by the Kinomural Foundation. An international open call complements invited artists and curated selections, while Bedtime Stories provides a programme for children.

The 2026 edition, Infinite Cycle, centres on repetition, rhythm and recurring patterns. Its main outdoor screenings take place on 18–19 September 2026 across six walls in Nadodrze. Admission is free.
