The Alan Lutkus International Film Series presents the U.S. premiere of Andreas Voigt's 2020 German-Polish documentary Borderland (Grenzland). Three decades after making his first film about the region, Voigt, one of the pivotal East German documentarians, returns to the borderlands where the outer limits of Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic intersect. Voigt once again encounters a people with a porous cultural identity, where family histories are intertwined with an array of dialects and legacies.

Voigt will be in attendance and host a Q&A after the event.

This event is free and open to the public. It will take place at The Riviera, 4 Center Street, Geneseo, following SUNY Geneseo Covid-19 protocols. For questions, please email Lytton Smith, smithlj@geneseo.edu
