We are excited to share our Film of the Month, Green Border, directed by Agnieszka Holland which premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival. It won the Special Jury Prize at the festival.

This screening is brought to our members in partnership with Modern Films, a leader in championing diverse, distinct, and impactful contemporary stories.

Green Border, directed by three-time Oscar nominee Agnieszka Holland, is a powerful and timely exploration of the global migration crisis. Drawing on real-life experiences, the film follows refugees navigating the perilous Polish-Belarusian border, alongside aid workers and border guards. Shot in stark monochrome, it challenges us to confront moral choices, question decisions made in our name, and embrace compassion. The film underscores the importance of highlighting underrepresented perspectives, which FFC aims to champion.

Set in the treacherous and swampy forests between Belarus and Poland, Green Border follows refugees from the Middle East and Africa who are lured by government propaganda promising easy passage to the European Union. Unable to cross into Europe and unable to turn back, they become trapped in a rapidly escalating geopolitical standoff.

Following the screening of the film members were able to join for an intimate Q&A with lead actress Behi Djanati Ataï.

Green Border is the FFC film of choice as it challenge perceptions, and bring attention to critical social issues, further engaging its members with purposeful storytelling.

At the FFC, we exclusively select films that inspire and drive change. We can’t wait for our members experience this extraordinary film and engage in a meaningful conversation with its lead actress and casting director.
