A transfrontier festival is very strongly directed at questions of identity and geopolitics. These questions are very important for Szczecin and the West Pomerania region. Each year the Common Borders festival block explores various issues and definitions of “the border.” This year's film choice focuses on the the question of the crossing of national borders and on political divisions. It also touches upon how these borders affect the image of particular individuals, often strongly interfering with their personal lives.
