Agnieszka Holland received the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Festival for the film “The Green Border”, in which she shows the situation at the Polish border in a manipulated manner, exclusively as a “humanitarian catastrophe”.
To be honest, this award is not surprising for the Netherlands. Western cultural elites have always supported and loved artists from Central Europe, who depicted their nations as backward and primitive, in contrast to ‘civilized old Europe’.
Croatian artists, writers and filmmakers who want to achieve success in the West always create works that show Croatia as a backward, ignorant country, with pity for its own people and state. The same goes for Polish artists.

It is primarily about rewarding films that deserve recognition, if not for aesthetic reasons, then at least for political reasons. Just like in this case.
Parallel to the news from Venice, another interesting news appeared about the film Netherlands.
Viewers are critical
On the popular website Filmweb.pl, the viewer rating for this film was 2.5 (out of 10) with more than five thousand reviews.
Even before the Polish premiere of the film, Poles decided to express their opposition to the project, which aimed to attack Polish services and their work in protecting the borders.
I think this information is important for one main reason. Poles are no longer a nation that tolerates ideologically charged criticism of itself. They are starting to get rid of this colonial complex (I also notice this process in other countries of the “new Europe”) and do not want to accept others lecturing them or telling them what to do and what not to do.
The idea that Poles should feel guilty about defending their territory, and that someone like the Netherlands imposes that feeling on them from the safety of their liberal living room – this kind of thing just doesn’t work anymore.
Prizes at European festivals will not change this.
The times when this was enough to impress Poles, Croats and other Central European countries are long gone.
