Diversity, openness and incredible stories—the central theme of the films advertising Lower Silesia is the dialogue between residents and tourists. The paper airplanes thrown by the protagonists in the video symbolize messages that connect people.
Lower Silesia has the most historic monuments in Poland, incredible castles and palaces, picturesque health resorts, mountains, cycling and hiking trails, beautiful national parks and nature reserves, ponds, river valleys, atmospheric towns and cities, and a wide cultural offering. All of this is enriched by a difficult yet fascinating history, which visitors to our region continue to discover with passion.
The Amorgos Film Festival brought together filmmakers, artists and tourism promoters from around the world for the fifteenth time, giving participants the opportunity to exchange experiences and learn about trends from different parts of the globe. This year, 119 films from 45 countries were presented during the festival. Of these, 27 films from 15 different countries received recognition and awards. Poland was represented among them by a film promoting our region, created for the Self-Government of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship by producer Tomasz Kempski and By People, in cooperation with the Voivodeship Promotion Department. The spot was directed by Michał Radziejewski. Modern film and computer techniques were used in its production. The crew travelled 2,000 km across Lower Silesia to show the region’s incredible character. The spot was produced in five languages and several versions.
The award is a wonderful opportunity for Lower Silesia to inspire travellers from different parts of the globe to discover extraordinary places in Poland and Lower Silesia. The success of the film promoting our region would not have been possible without the involvement of residents, institutions and Lower Silesia enthusiasts. The film’s central theme is messages connecting tourists and residents, the openness of the local community and the feeling that everyone can find their place in Lower Silesia.
