Masterclass with Adele Romanski

Have we written about it in the lead? Yes, we have. Have we mentioned it in our list of meetings? Indeed, we have. But we’re so looking forward to this event, that we’ll write about it in a separate paragraph, just to be sure you don’t miss it. Adele Romanski, this year’s Indie Star Award recipient (along with Alex Ross Perry), an accomplished producer and Oscar winner for Moonlight, will delve into the intricacies of her work during a masterclass today following the 4:45 PM screening of Aftersun. You are most cordially invited!

Silent Disco at Galeria Dominikańska

A shopping mall is an indisputable icon of American (pop)culture (no debates here, as it’s a scientific fact). Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to a new addition to AFF’s program: Silent Disco in the space of Galeria Dominikańska (Domnikański Square, level +1, main entrance from Max Premium Burgers). We’ll kick off at 11:00 PM, dancing until 4:00 AM. You’ll have the option to choose from three channels, taken over by DJ Kaczy, DJ Skipless, and the world’s best American Film Festival volunteers under the baton of Kuba Mąka. The event will also feature a special bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, along with coffee and burgers (Max Premium Burgers open until 2:00 AM). Admission: 25 PLN or 20 PLN for pass/accreditation or festival film ticket holders. Payments are accepted on-site, cash only. To join the fun, you’ll need to rent headphones (an ID will be required for this). Please be aware that the number of headphones is limited.

Aff-ter parties

Make After Parties Great Again! It’s not an empty promise for us! After a day of exploring all states of cinema, join us for enjoyable ‘Aff-ters’ at Recepcja and DOBRO bars located in the most beautiful courtyard of Wroclaw – the neon-lit space at 46a Ruska Street, literally a couple blocks down Sw. Antoniego Street down from the New Horizons Cinema. Regardless of the weather, you’ll experience California sun there: good drinks at the bar, good music, and a dance floor set for late-night partying. Plus: trivia quizzes compiled by our partner organizations. Ticket and pass holders get 10% off at the bars.

Sneek peek: festival Thursday

What’s in store for us tomorrow? In short: everything, everywhere, all at once. And that’s what we love most about the festival! On festival Thursday, we invite you to 11 meetings, including a masterclass with Alex Ross Perry (paired with a surprise screening; starting at 7:00 PM). Later in the evening, you can revel in musical delights at the Recepcja club, courtesy of czubakaczor.
