[New Episode]: An interview with Agnieszka Holland on Green Border


Hello Reader,

Venice Jury-Prize Winner Green Border is expanding across North America, and it's one of the very best films of 2024. I talked to legendary director Agnieszka Holland on the latest episode of the podcast.

Holland discusses why she wanted to make the film, how it’s in conversation with her other work, and why she chose to shoot it in black and white.

Green Border is about the ongoing migrant crisis at the Polish-Belarusian border and the horrors happening there. Holland tells the story from multiple perspectives, including a family of refugees, a group of activists helping migrants, and the border guards, to give a picture of the complex and harrowing situation.
