Agnieszka Holland’s ‘Green Border’ Takes Audience Award in Strong Year for International Film Festival Rotterdam
Agnieszka Holland’s 'Green Border' won the audience award at the 53rd edition of International Film Festival Rotterdam in a strong year for the event.
Holland’s Venice Jury Prize-winner derives its name from the swampy forests found at the border between Poland and Belarus, a perilous place where hundreds of migrants — mostly from the Middle East and Africa — try to make their way into the European Union. As part of the Talks program, the festival welcomed names such as Sandra Hüller, Billy Woodberry, Marco Bellocchio and Debbie Harry for in-depth conversations about their careers and their impact on the world of independent filmmaking. “From the joy of our opening night, to the excitement of welcoming superstars and cinematic giants, to witnessing the blossoming of future greats like the Tiger Award winner, there was a special atmosphere at the festival this edition.”
