Dr Magdalena Matkowska-Jerzyk, Assistant Professor of the Department of Bohemian Studies of the University of Wrocław, is working on a series of documents on the Polish-Czech borderland as part of the project ” Okno na pogranicze / Spolu na hranici”.
The aim of the project is to create 16 documentary films in two thematic series. The first series concerns tourism and travel topics, the second one will focus on the history of the 20th century. The authors want to present the Polish-Czech borderland through the history of people living there. The series is co-produced by TVP3 Wrocław and ČT Studio Ostrava. All the project will be completed by the end of 2021.
The first series consists of eight themes – popular associations related to the borderland: “Rocks”, “Underground”, “Kitchen”, “Water”, “Wheels”, “Railroad”, “Via Crucis”, “Skis”. The films show the borderland of today – disenchanted after the past- barbed wire and armed soldiers stationed at the border.
