AFF jest wydarzeniem wyjątkowym w skali światowej i drugim tego rodzaju w Europie. American Film Festival jest jedynym festiwalem w Polsce — i w Europe środkowej i wschodniej — prezentującym wyłącznie kino amerykańskie w całej jego różnorodności: od artystycznego undergroundu do ambitnych produkcji Hollywoodzkich (włączając artystyczne przykłady filmów gwiazdorskich, a odrzucając masowe, seryjne produkcje o suberbohaterach). Festiwal przełamuje stereotyp kina amerykańskiego jako lekkiej rozrywki. Współczesne kino amerykańskie wyznacza nowe ścieżki rozwoju sztuki filmowej, szuka nowego języka filmowego, jest często odważne, ryzykowne i niekonwencjonalne i takie kino znajdziecie Państwo na AFF.
In its history the real history mixes with legends so much that it is often difficult to separate one from the other.
At the top of the Choina hill, as if guarding the border between the Sowie and Walbrzyskie Mountains, rises the beautifully situated Grodno Castle. Its first owner was probably Bolko I, although there is no hard evidence for it. The fact is that, like other nearby castles, from the hands of the Piast dynasty it fell into the hands of the Czech Crown. When the knights’ families took the castle over, the gloomy fame of the robbers’ castle grew around it and stayed for over a hundred years. The further history of Grodno Castle was no less turbulent. The facility passed from hand to hand, was expanded, destroyed, burnt. Over time it lost its strategic importance. In the end, it fell into decline so that the local peasants decided to buy it to obtain building material for sale after demolition. Grodno Castle owes its rescue to Professor Jan Gustaw Büschnig from Wrocław. After 1824, the castle was protected against further destruction, and subsequent generations have given it a tourist character.

The beautiful Lesnica Castle has, like many places of its type, some terrible stories on the pages of history. One of them is a legend of the family of Counts von Forno who came to the Castle in the 17th century from the Czech Republic. They were not very popular and treated their subjects really badly. One of them humiliated the subjects physically and mentally and even stabbed one of his servants with a knife, which he then threw out of the window (apparently it i...
