Diskusia na filmovom festivale Jeden svet o filme Hosť

The film The Guest (2024) captures the story of a Polish family that takes in a Syrian refugee. He got stuck in the gloomy border area between Poland and Belarus. Time plays against him and the actors of this situation do not have many options. Despite the language barrier, they manage to create a bond between them.

After the screening, we will discuss with the creators their experience of staying and capturing reality on the territory of the Polish-Belarusian border, which is hardly heard of in the media, despite the fact that the humanitarian crisis continues to rage there and the lives of migrants and people on the run end tragically. It's here, it's in Europe, so let's ask together what everyday reality looks like there and how it can be filmed.

The discussion is moderated by Pavol Štrba, foreign policy editor of Aktuality.sk.
The invitation was accepted by: Marie Krauss, film producer; Zvika Portnoy, cameraman and director and Oana Curtiss, UNHCR representative.
The discussion will be held in English.
