\n

Next in the Espoo Cin\u00e9 Recommends series, perhaps the most important political film of last year, Green Border, is screened. Its subject matter is relevant anywhere, but also sheds light on Finland’s own border law situation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Polish veteran director Agnieszka Holland<\/strong>‘s masterpiece Green Border<\/em> is a touchingly humane, human-seeming depiction of the plight of refugees on the border between Poland and Belarus. Holland’s film is not only a breathtaking drama, but also an extremely important speech in favor of civilization and the meaning of the words used at a time when the humanity of refugees is being erased. If the worst option is realized, a similar situation can also be seen in the Finnish border region, which is why the film is a must-see for those participating in the discussion here.<\/p>\n

Green Border<\/em> was nominated for Best Film, Director and Screenplay at the 2023 European Film Awards and won seven awards at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, including the Special Jury Prize and the UNIMED Award for Cultural Diversity.<\/p>\n

Green Border <\/em>will be previewed at Kino Tapiola on Thursday, 15 August at 17.15. Tickets and additional information are available at Kino Tapiola’s box office and website.<\/a><\/p>\n

Espoo Cin\u00e9 Recommends<\/em> is Espoo Cin\u00e9\u2019s year-round screening series in collaboration with Kino Tapiola. The screenig series features Espoo Cin\u00e9\u2019s unrealized loves; films that could have been part of the festival but, for one reason or another, didn’t make it. The lineup promises Espoo Cin\u00e9’s signature blend of new European cinema and subtly smoldering emotional intensity.
