This year's cinema will visit a special guest - Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland! On this occasion, we are showing her film "Green Wall", who shocked the audience at the festival last year. Before the session, we invite you to participate in a comprehensive conversation with the director. The conversation about her work will be in English. In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so -called green border between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa fall into geopolitical shackles. The fraudulent hope in a safer Europe is replaced by horror and modern tragedy. In this invisible war, the lives of Julia, a young border guard Jan and the Syrian family who have just become activist. The filmmaker Agnieszka Holland, a huge stir in Poland, raises the question: Can different sides of the barricades find a common language when the wall becomes a burial of broken dreams? “The Polish authorities tried to censor the film and the director received threats. But that did not prevent the Best Film Award at the Polish Film Awards and 800,000 viewers were collected in the country. The film was also awarded a special jury prize at the Venice Festival. History takes us to a tragedy on the Polish -Belarusian border. People on different sides intertwine here - refugees, officials, activists and border residents. A brutally sincere narrative boldly reveals not only tension but also human kindness in difficult situations. Here, cold press reports turn into a drama that will excite empathy and humanity. ” (Program compiler Karolis Žukas) World Premiere: Venice Film Festival, competition program, 2023 Awards: Special Jury Prize, Venice Film Festival, 2023 Directing: Agnieszka Holland Scenario: Agnieszka Holland, Maciej Pisuk, Gabriela Lazarkiewicz-Sieczko Montage: Pavel Hrdlicka Camera: Tomasz Naumiuk Music: Frédéric Vercheval Dialogues: English, Arabic, Polish Subtitles: Lithuanian, English Starring: Jalal Altawil, Mohamad al Rashi, Dalia Naous, Joely Mbundu, Monika Frajczyk, Taim Ajan, Talia Ajan, Behi Djanati ATAI (Leïla), Piotr Stramowski, Maja Ostaszewska, Tomasz Włosok, Magdalena Pop.
