American Independent Film Festival #8 this year marks a first in the history of both the festival and Bran Castle, organizing film screenings in its courtyard. The event takes place between June 7 and 8, at dusk, offering the public an experience of reconnecting with the beauty of outdoor cinema. Located in a spectacular setting, accentuated by the nature and fairytale atmosphere of Bran Castle, the festival invites the public to enjoy exceptional films such as Hit Man (dir. Richard Linklater), in competition at the Venice Film Festival in 2023 , and Love Lies Bleeding (dir. Rose Glass), in the Berlinale Special selection in 2024.
