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.
The most valuable and impressive monument of Olesnica, as well as one of the most valuable in Lower Silesia.
The castle was built in the fourteenth century and located in the south-western part of the city’s fortifications. Earlier, maybe even before 1238, there was a prince’s stronghold, and in 1245 a castellany was established. Until 1492 the principality of Olesnica belonged to the Silesian Piasts and after the death of Konrad IX Bialy (the Younger), the castle passed in 1495 to the prince of Ziebice, Henry I, and then prince John, the sons of the Czech king George of Podebrady. From 1647, the castle was managed by princely families from the von Wirttenberg-Weiltigen (Oels) family, then von Braunschweig (princes of Bruszwiki). In 1884, the castle became the throne feud of the Prussian monarchy and the residence of each successor to the Prussian throne and from 1926, after many negotiations, the private property of the von Hohenzollern family. The castle is integrally connected with Olesnica – a city of towers and roses – located on the old amber trail and constituting an excellent starting point to Wroclaw, located 30 km away.

A place full of flavours
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...
The location of Kliczkow Castle alone, deep in Lower Silesian Forest, far away from populated places, can trigger our imagination.
