Agnieszka Holland’s migrant crisis drama Green Border has achieved the best opening weekend in Poland for a Polish film in 2023 in spite of a fierce political backlash from the country’s right-wing government.
The picture’s Polish distributor Kino Świat said on Monday that the film, which launched theatrically on September 2022, had drawn 137,000 spectators on its opening weekend which is the best result for a Polish film this year.
The drama, which explores the mistreatment of migrants along Poland’s thickly forested border with Belarus on both sides, has been subjected to a vitriolic political backlash and online hate campaign since its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Prize.

Inflammatory remarks by leading politicians in the coalition have fuelled an online hate campaign against Holland and also encouraged physical protests outside cinemas showing the film by neofascists groups.
Polish exhibitor María Magdalena Gierat told an industry panel at the San Sebastian Film Festival on Sunday that her Kino Pod Baranami theatre was among cinemas that had been targeted by right-wing protestors.
She said, however, that the backlash had encouraged rather than deterred people from going to see the film.
Talking about the latest box office figures out of Poland, Green Border executive producer Mike Downey said the Polish launch was the first step in wider a distribution plan.
