“Green Border” will tell the story of a Syrian family, an English teacher from Afghanistan and a young Polish border guard in the forest on the Polish-Belarusian border. Emigrants who strive to improve their living conditions become pawns in the game – they are weapons in the hybrid war between Lukashenko and Putin.
“Right-wing media write various uncreated things”
However, right-wing media were the first to inform about the work on the film. In the “public” TVP Info and in the right-wing “Do Rzeczy” it was written that there is a “very fast pace of work” on the set, because Agnieszka Holland wants to be able to premiere the film before the autumn parliamentary elections. The director revealed this alleged information in an interview with the portal:
We work normally, there is nothing unusual about the pace of work. I don’t think I’ll make it before the election, that’s not our goal. Right-wing media write all kinds of uncreated things, I don’t know where they got their information, because no one contacted us
Agnieszka Holland co-wrote the screenplay for “Green Border” with her niece, director Gabriela Łazarkiewicz, and writer Maciej Pisuk. Tomasz Naumiuk is responsible for the cinematography, who in the past worked with Holland on the film “Citizen Jones” about the Holodomor in Ukraine and the series “1983”.
The director plans to reveal more details about the production only in May. So far, he says about the upcoming film: “We are trying to look at the tragic events on the Polish-Belarusian border from different points of view. This is a film that asks important questions in the context of our dramatic reality.”
Agnieszka Holland also announces a second film
“Green Border” is a Polish-Czech-French-Belgian co-production, which may be released later this year. This is another film by the director, which is being made in cooperation with the Czech producer Šárka Cimbalova from Marlene Film Production. Holland confessed that after the film is finished, they will start shooting a biopic about Franz Kafka, which will premiere next year.
The Polish director is a graduate of the Film and Television Department of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. She shot her first big production in the Czech Republic in 2013. It was the HBO miniseries “Burning Bush”, which presented the story of student Jan Palach, who committed an act of self-immolation as a protest against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1969.
