Grenzland

Borderland

The River Oder: A historical and cultural landscape churned again and again by the tide of events of the past century. A tale told in concentric circles about a region which was and still is the scene of the beginning, end and open middle of voluntary and involuntary migrations. Virulent issues of daily life and politics that, asked with confident casualness, provide a robust account of the present. Movements and stories in the border region between Poland and Germany – Andreas Voigt’s new film takes up the themes of his 1992 work BORDERLAND – A JOURNEY. (Ralph Eue, DOK Leipzig)
