‘Green Border’ & ‘The Peasants’ To Bookend Kinoteka Polish Film Festival In London
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Agnieszka Holland’s migrant drama Green Border will open the 22nd Kinoteka Polish Film Festival, running from March 6 to 28 in various locations across London.
The opening gala screening at the BFI Southbank will tie in with the film’s UK release by Modern Films, which kicks off on March 8.
The picture previously made its UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival.
